UCCS Short-Term Programs

UCCS short-term programs are a great way to go abroad with your UCCS community for a shorter length of time. Most programs are about 10 days long and run in the early summer (late May/early June), though some will run over winter or spring break. Led by a UCCS faculty or staff member, short-term programs include faculty-directed programs, service learning, and student group trips.
