We are pleased to announce the call for Summer 2019 Global Seminars. The Academic Senate approved the Global Seminar program as a permanent study abroad offering for UC San Diego during fall 2009. The Global Seminar program offers the opportunity to teach two four-unit courses in an international location during a five-week summer session, with the benefit of full logistical support through Study Abroad, UC San Diego. According to Academic Senate policy, voting members of the UC San Diego Academic Senate, including ladder rank faculty, LSOE, LPSOE as well as Continuing Unit 18 Lecturers with at least 18 quarters of teaching experience at UC San Diego, are eligible to teach Global Seminars.

Over one hundred seminars have been taught abroad by UC San Diego faculty since the Global Seminars program began in Summer 2008. Planning is well underway for up to seventeen Global Seminars in fourteen cities (Athens, Bangkok, Cape Town, Edinburgh, Geneva, Granada, Jerusalem, London, Mexico City, Paris, Prague, Rome, Sydney, and Weimar during Summer 2018, and Study Abroad UC San Diego hopes to offer another compelling selection of seminars in Summer 2019.
