A faculty-led program is focused on a particular theme, with an on-site Montclair State University faculty director. You travel as a group and the program package typically includes airfare, housing, some meals, museum entrance fees, guest lectures and administrative costs. Programs and destinations may vary each year, and some programs are offered in alternating years.
Spring Break programs are 7-10 days of travel as a component of a full spring semester course. Summer programs, which are 2-8 weeks in length with several course options, are open to both Montclair State University students and visiting students from other universities.
If you have never been abroad or want to try someplace completely new to you, faculty-led programs are the easiest way to go!

For U.S. citizens, most destinations do not require visas for short stays. Non-U.S. citizens should check the consulate website for the destination to determine if they will need a tourist visa. The Office of International Academic Initiatives can provide support documentation for the tourist visa. If the destination requires tourist visas for all participants, the Office of International Academic Initiatives will assist in procuring all visas.
