CIEE International Faculty Development Seminars are short-term, concentrated, educational experiences designed to explore fascinations, challenge preconceptions, and open eyes to a wide variety of issues shaping the world today. Expect one or two intensive weeks of: lectures given by local faculty or experts from prestigious public and private institutions; lively discussions with overseas academics and colleagues; and coordinated site visits to academic, economic, educational, environmental, historic, political, religious, and social institutions.
