Why participate on a W&M faculty-led summer program?
It's a Unique Study Abroad Experience
W&M Faculty-led programs provide an opportunity for international engagement and understanding. These programs aim to create communities where global leaders are built through intentional experiential learning and activities.
W&M Faculty Led
Courses are taught by W&M faculty and/or faculty from partner institutions.
W&M Credits and Grades
W&M credits and grades earned are posted on the William & Mary transcript, with the exception of Galway which will earn both W&M and transfer credit.
All programs fulfill the COLL 300 requirement
W&M Support
The W&M Program Directors, Reves Center, and partner institutions work together to provide support to W&M students before and while abroad.
Program Directors on programs receive specialized training from GEO and Reves Center staff, along with other W&M offices.
W&M Experiential Learning
Programs designed to connect students to the host culture by academically engaging students inside and outside of the classroom.
Each program connects the W&M courses to the study abroad location.
W&M Summer Program Application Deadlines
Students pay a non-refundable program application fee of $75.

Third Party Summer Programs
Some students opt to go on a Third Party program during the summer. These programs are often popular with students looking for experiences in locations where W&M does not currently offer direct programming. These types of programs cover a vast array of experiences. Students should visit the Third Party Programs page for more information.
