The Office of International Programs (OIP) coordinates and facilitates opportunities for faculty to lead a group of SFA students while teaching one or more courses abroad. The OIP will assist in developing logistical arrangements, programmatic support and travel arrangements. The office will also assist in budget development and collection and dispersal of funds for program costs.
Applications for faculty-led programs are available in the OIP office. A completed application must be sent to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board for final approval. Once that approval is obtained, planning and fee collection may begin.
Faculty salaries are paid by departmental teaching allocation. Generally three or six hours fo credit is provided during Summer I or Summer II semesters and three credit hours during May-mester. Travel cost of the instructor is prorated over the pool of registrants. Students will pay SFA tuition and fees and their share of faculty expenses.
We look forward to work with you in developing new programs abroad. Please contact us to start working on your program today!
