Jordan is an outstanding destination for faculty-led programs due to its rich history, regional importance, political stability, and strong culture of hospitality. Home to some of the world’s most significant historical and archaeological sites, Jordan offers students a rare opportunity to study ancient civilizations alongside modern social, political, and economic developments.

Program costs vary based on duration, group size, accommodation preferences, and planned activities. We work with faculty to develop a transparent and detailed budget covering all expenses, including transportation, lodging, meals, and academic activities.
