External Short-Term Programs
In addition to the short-term courses abroad offered by the Smith School, students
are also eligible to participate in a variety of other summer and short-term options.
Generally, these options fall into one of four categories:
-
University of Maryland
Short-Term Programs: The University offers a number of short-term programs over
winter term, spring break, and in the summer. These 3- to 6-credit programs focus
on a variety of topics and generally count as University electives.
-
University Study Abroad Consortium (USAC) Programs: The University of Maryland
is a member of USAC which offers a number of summer programs for undergraduate students
ranging from 4 to 10 weeks. More information on applying to a USAC program as a
University of Maryland student
can be found here.
- Direct Enroll Programs: Students may wish to enroll directly in a short-term
program at one of our partner institutions. A partial list of these programs can
be found below.
- External Program Providers: Various organizations and companies exist to provide
study abroad experiences for students. These programs, while generally more expensive
than those listed above, often provide a high-touch experience for participants
and may include internships or other additional services. Students are encouraged
to explore third-party providers carefully to ensure that they are reliable organizations.
Here are a few recommended program providers:
Study Australia,
