For Faculty

At the Education Abroad Offices we understand there is great value in short term Faculty-Led programs. Rowan University offers it’s full-time Faculty the opportunity to lead programs abroad in conjunction with our approved program providers. We encourage any faculty interested in leading a group of Rowan students on a short term program abroad to read below to learn about the process and timeline for planning, preparing for and running a program abroad.

 

*As of January 2020: POLICY CHANGES FOR FACULTY LED PROGRAMMING*

Our office has made several changes to our policies and procedures recently. If you have lead a program in the past, please review the new policies and procedures for running a program abroad. The changes are in effect as of January 2020.

Update #1: Only credit-bearing programs will be approved by the Education Abroad Committee.

Update #2: Faculty may only run programs that have a direct affiliation to a course within their department, research or teaching interests. Faculty will not be permitted to run a credit-bearing program that is outside of their academic department.

Update #3: Proposals are now due on February 4th of the year PRIOR to your program. 

View the available program options below and learn more about the next steps for each option.  

Available Faculty-Led Programs

For Credit Faculty Led Programs

Option 1: This option allows the professor to teach a 3 credit course overseas. Typically these programs will run 1-3 weeks in the country of choice. The professor will work with one of the approved Partner Organizations (see below) to design and build a program etc. (Only current Rowan students can apply)

Option 2: This option allows the professor to add an international component to a spring course. The international component will take place overseas in the country of choice during the January term, Spring Break, or “Maymester.” (Only current Rowan students can apply)

Non-Credit Faculty Led Program

This options allows faculty to take a group of students abroad on a program that does not have a course attached to it. This program would simply allow students to travel abroad with a Rowan faculty member and experience another culture.
