-
Faculty are required to submit a proposal for a study abroad course in order to formally express interest in developing a course, organize logistics details for course study, and receive appropriate approvals from department and college administrators.
All required documents, including a syllabus, program budget, program design, and in-country daily itinerary, will be reviewed by CIE. Once a proposal receives final approval from all administrators, the faculty member will be given directions to follow the Post-Approval process.
-
After a faculty-led course proposal has been approved, CIE staff will meet with the faculty member to discuss program promotion, including marketing materials, meetings and informational scheduling, and financial aid communications. CIE staff will remain in communication with all departments and participants as the course readies for departure.
