To maintain a healthy portfolio of programs that meet the unique priorities of each academic unit, the Study Abroad Office welcomes strategic program proposals that address student needs and align with both Study Abroad and University strategic goals.

Faculty-led study abroad programs are developed in collaboration with the Study Abroad Office at least 15 months prior to the start of the program (See Program Proposal Deadlines). Interested in proposing a study abroad program? Follow these steps:

1. Complete the Canvas Course: Enroll in Study Abroad Program Development 101 to learn about the proposal requirements and guidelines.
2. Schedule an Initial Interest Meeting: Schedule a meeting with the Study Abroad Office to discuss your program concept and feasibility.
3. Submit Your Proposal: Complete and submit your program proposal by the official deadline.

Note: Program approval is competitive, and proposals are reviewed based on academic quality, feasibility, and alignment with institutional goals.
