Abstract

As universities have focused more attention on study abroad opportunities for students in recent years, an increasing number of students have studied abroad through short-term programs. While short-term trips associated with a class have the potential to offer great learning experiences for students, faculty face high startup costs in the design of programs and students may not experience an improvement in intercultural competence without a focus on design principles. This chapter provides faculty with a program development guide for a faculty-led course in Madrid, Spain. Initial preparation, curriculum design, marketing and enrollment, teaching, trip management, and assessment of the program are discussed in detail. Additionally, guidance is provided to assist students in the development of intercultural competence and assessment throughout the course.
