教师资源 and Planning a Course Abroad

开始:

教师 submits a 教师-Led Program Proposal typically more than 12 months in advance of the program start date in order to have all details finalized leaving ample room for student recruitment. Your initial application will require a proposal narrative and estimated budget sheet that has been signed and approved by the Chair of your department and Dean. A complete application will include a detailed program narrative, 认可课程大纲, and confirmed budget sheet. An approved proposal is reviewed by the Office of 全球项目 for final recommendations, and will require approval by 马塞诸斯州大学波士顿 风险管理, 及出口管制. Contracts with the providers or other organizations who provide services for faculty-led programs must be reviewed by 马塞诸斯州大学的 Office of General Counsil (OGC) and approved by 马塞诸斯州大学的 Office of the President Unified Procurement Services Team (UPST).

过程: 

  1. Meet with our office to determine what your goals and vision is for the program. Work with our office to identify potential providers who can provide logistical support and prepare cost quotes for the program.
  2. Once a provider is identified, submit the 项目建议 with preliminary budget from the provider along with the proposal narrative on the online applications for (新)建议 or 复读课程建议.
  3. The above proposal submission must include:
    • 提议的叙述

  5. Repeat study abroad programs can be accepted approximately 6 months prior to student application deadline:

  6. Once the initial proposal is accepted, for 新 proposals a syllabus/itinerary is created and sent for course approval through your department/college as well as General Education if intended to have Gen Ed distribution. We highly recommend having your course approved as a General Education requirement.
  7. 教师-leaders acknowledge responsibility for logistical coordination, 财务安排, student advising and support, recruitment as well as course development and instruction. 马塞诸斯州大学波士顿 Office of 全球项目 (OGP) supports identifying and/or employing a professional study abroad provider organization to coordinate these functions, provide a back-up support network and enable the faculty leader to focus on robust content delivery.
