We offer hundreds of programs in over eighty countries, which are categorized as follows:

Faculty-led programs

Faculty-led programs are short-term study tours over breaks, intersessions, or summer in which you learn and travel with a K-State professor and students. Cultural activities and excursions are often included.

Program providers organize study abroad programs that offer additional assistance throughout your international experience. These programs are offered for various lengths of time during the year and provide a more structured experience, often with cultural activities and excursions.
