Short-Term Programs

Our short-term international study programs are led by faculty members and are associated with a Catawba academic course. These programs typically last from a few days to several weeks and take place during the summer or during one of the extended breaks in the academic year. Recent programs have included travel to Bonaire, Cuba, France, Israel, Italy, Madagascar, and Peru.
