Professional Development Programs – April & September 2024
Our 5-day programs in Ireland for faculty, administrators and college leaders take place each Spring and fall. These short but intensive programs in Ireland help colleges to internationalize their curriculum & classroom, explore the logistics, academic and cultural opportunities for study travel for your students, inform your strategy for building academic, faculty-driven programs, network you with other faculty and study abroad professionals, and acquaint you with Ireland, Irish education and Irish culture.
These programs are subsidized to be very affordable, and you are also welcome to bring along a friend or partner- plenty for them to do too. The PD programs include travel in Dublin and Donegal, and accommodation, transfers, most meals and all of the workshops are included. Early bird fee from $980 per person.

High School/Early College Programs
Each June, we run a study abroad program for teens aged 16-18. Most of the students are preparing for college, or taking early college classes, and a ten day overseas program is ideal for preparing them for college, and helping them think globally, and become culturally competent. Places are limited, but open to everyone.
