Faculty are an integral component to the success of study abroad programming at Viterbo University. The Study Abroad Office at Viterbo provides administrative and logistical support for faculty-led study abroad programs, which have sent hundreds of Viterbo students abroad. Viterbo's short-term, faculty-led programs are designed to offer diverse opportunities to all students and to a wide variety of international and domestic destinations. These types of opportunities would not be possible without our faculty partners and the efforts and dedication they pour into these programs.
