Faculty Education Abroad Information

for faculty-led programs and courses abroad

Faculty & Staff Program Directors

 

Overview

Faculty-led programs provide important opportunities for students to engage in meaningful educational experiences abroad. Programs may be a Summer course, an embedded aspect of a semester course, fieldwork or research experiences, creative activities, service-learning, or another type of experience. Programs may be for-credit or non-credit. These programs do not encompass faculty travel without students. The Education Abroad Office aims to support these vital opportunities for students and thanks the faculty and staff program directors who contribute greatly to our shared mission.
