q3 · i? · review · r3

The review's typology drew on 52 publications (88% of the total) reporting program length. Of the 22 short-term programs, 64% (N = 14) were 2 weeks or less; 15 publications each described one-to-two-semester and varying-length programs.

"The majority of publications (N = 22; 42%) described programs that were less than a semester, which is comparable to short-term study abroad program classifications."
