Our faculty directors are adventurous, flexible, and adaptable—you'll spend lots of time with students, both in academic and non-academic roles. In addition to teaching course(s) abroad, you'll help students navigate cultural competencies, lost passports, language barriers, homesickness, and more.
Directing a faculty-led study abroad program also means putting your organizational skills to good use, as you’ll develop a budget and stick to it. You’ll also be the primary source of program promotion and information.
We look forward to partnering with you toward an experience that is both student-centered and meaningful for you!
If you are considering offering a new or continuing program, please express interest by contacting Ashley Coker, Director of Study Abroad.

Faculty-led Program Proposals
Proposals for faculty-led programs are developed collaboratively through InfoReady with faculty leaders, academic units, and the Study Abroad Office. Please leave your proposal in draft mode until you've been instructed to submit. The first reviewer is the Study Abroad Office, and our review will be completed in draft mode, as it is much easier to make changes while your proposal is still a draft. If you submit your proposal without being instructed to do so, you will likely need to begin again.

Program Development Site Visit:
Faculty are invited to submit a request for program development site visit funds from the Rinker Center for Global Affairs. Site visit funds are limited and applicants are encouraged to request funds as early as possible. Preference will be given to new programs, programs in underrepresented locations, programs with strategies to increase participation among underrepresented students, and first-time program directors.
