In 2008, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO (UCSD) joined the ranks of institutions offering Global Seminars, short-term study abroad programs designed and led by the institution's own faculty. In this model, an instructor teaches two courses in his or her area of expertise and guides students through a city or other location abroad for five weeks, integrating the course work with the site to enhance learning and to enrich the student experience. In the UCSD model, each Global Seminar (GS) required a minimum of fifteen students for financial viability and was capped at a maximum of thirty students for manageability. In Summer 2009,1 led a program in Istanbul, teaching a lower-division world history course and an upper-division history course on Byzantium. The Istanbul program was offered again in 2010 and I will lead a fourth GS there in 2011. With the hope that this experience may be of interest or potential use to faculty or administrators at other institutions, I offer this general introduction and overview, from program development to implementation and assessment, and discuss the integration of the site itself in history pedagogy.
