Intensive Courses Abroad
Intensive Courses Abroad (ICAs) offer the opportunity to have an international
academic experience in a short period of time (generally 7 - 10 days during
break weeks). ICAs are typically led by a Drexel faculty director, in
conjunction with an on campus course before and/or after the tour. They
include activities such as guest lectures, industry visits, and other hands on
events that transform the city into a living laboratory.
Note: due to ICAs being led by Drexel faculty, you do not need to meet with a study abroad advisor to open an ICA application. You could open one right now! However, you will need to meet with the faculty lead of the program. Their information is listed under "Instructor".
All ICAs generally run on the scheduled breaks between terms, but be sure to check the itinerary as some programs vary!
All undergraduate options are below. Restrictions may apply.
The following programs are listed in order of application cycle, to current date.
