Faculty Resources

Faculty-led programs are a tradition at Bridgewater State College and one that the Office of Study Abroad enthusiastically supports. Over time, several academic departments on campus have offered faculty-led programs, and in a given year, as many as 1/2 of all study abroad participants are enrolled in faculty-led programs. These programs provide a variety of benefits for students: an overseas program directly linked to their coursework at BSC, the security of traveling with someone who they know and respect, and a shorter program that opens up this opportunity to many students who otherwise would not go abroad.

Many students who participate in faculty-led programs have never left the U.S. and probably wouldn't during their time at BSC if not for these programs. We often find that students who first experience international travel with a BSC faculty member return to our office to pursue other opportunities.

If you are interested in leading a short-term study tour please contact Susi Rachouh, Director of the Office of Study Abroad at 508.531.6183. Course proposals must be submitted one year prior to your intended study tour departure date.
