Abstract

Unlike other academic disciplines, there is an inherent difficulty in creating opportunities for criminal justice students to study abroad within their discipline. Host countries possess legitimate concerns about security, and creating an educational and meaningful experience for the students can be a challenge. This presentation will examine a recent pilot program by one university which took students to Spain and will share the strategies, successes, and challenges.
