What I Need to Know about Developing a Faculty-led Program Abroad in a Non-Traditional Location

Workshop Date: January

Because not all faculty who have presented interest in offering a faculty-led course in a non-traditional location were able to attend, we are offering another workshop in the spring semester to review:

• the timeline for designing a syllabus and submitting a course proposal
• challenges and tips for developing a successful program
• health and safety considerations and what measures are provided by the University
• the process of approvals for launching a program
• what "personal style" is best for being a Faculty Leader

·         the timeline for submitting a course proposal

·         tips for developing a successful program in a non traditional location

·         health and safety measures

·         the process of launching a program
