Short-Term Programs: Academic Breaks

Short-term programs that run during winter or spring academic breaks, or in the first several weeks of summer, are available only to Syracuse University students. These programs are the travel components of Syracuse University courses offered on the home campus or online during the semester. To participate in a short-term study abroad experience during academic breaks, you must enroll in the regular semester course associated with it.
