Short-Term Programs

Short-term faculty led programs are intensive education abroad experiences offered during semester breaks. A variety of Short-Term Programs are open each year to freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors and graduate students.

There are four types of Short-Term Programs at Bentley:

  • Wintersession programs take place during January break (before the start of spring semester classes)
  • Spring Embedded programs are full spring semester courses with a travel component during Spring Break
  • May/Summer Programs usually begin right after the close of spring term exams
  • Fall programs are full fall semester classes with travel during the January break
