Faculty-led programs are led by Texas State professors who take a group of Texas State students abroad. During the program, students participate in lectures, excursions, and cultural activities which will help them gain knowledge of the country that they visit. 

Most Faculty-led programs are offered during the summer for about 2-4 weeks. Students usually take two courses while abroad and receive Texas State credits. Courses are taught in English unless it is a foreign language program. 

While participating in a Faculty-led program, students are eligible to use their Texas State financial aid as long as they meet all financial aid eligibility requirements.
