Faculty-Led Programs 2010

Download 2010 brochure for general information.

Each year, Clemson faculty members lead study abroad programs at locations around the world.  You travel with CU faculty and take CU courses. The majority of these programs take place during spring break, Maymester, or a summer session. You are registered for CU courses and receive a grade for these courses just as you would if you were on campus. Costs include Clemson tuition and fees, a study abroad fee, and other additional program costs (for items such as airfare, meals, and accomodations) which vary by program.

The programs listed below are planned for 2010. 

CLEMSON ABROAD 2010
