UC San Diego offers a wide range of study abroad opportunities for students across the globe, wherever you may find interest.   These include semester-long, year-long, and  summer programs.  One option among the summer programs are Global Seminars. Global Seminars are 5-week, 8-unit, 2-course faculty-led programs with ~25 students.

Prof. Herbst was an inaugural faculty member of UC San Diego’s faculty-led Global Seminars in 2008 and has led 10 programs, which have taken place in: France (2008), Turkey (2009 – 2012), England (2013), Thailand/Cambodia (2014), New Zealand (2017), Italy (2018), Australia (2019). His programs in Japan was cancelled due to the Global Health crisis of 2020 and New York City.  His 2022 program is a disability/environmental program in California.

He has led four other international programs:  Two Spring Break Intercultural Service Programs in Turkey for UCSD undergraduate students (2013, 2014) and two three-week National Endowment for the Humanities Summer World History Institutes in Turkey for secondary education teachers (2013, 2015).
