Faculty-Led Programs
Types of Faculty-Led Programs
International experiences led by SDSU faculty members offer students a unique opportunity to gain a global perspective. There are many different program types that faculty can be involved in.
Global Seminar Programs
An intensive faculty-led program that takes place during the winter or summer term, that meet the contact hour requirements and learning outcomes of 15-week semester courses.
Course-Embedded Programs
A regular session course with an integrated international experience. Travel can occur before, during or after the term in which the course takes place.
Transborder Programs
Course-Embedded Program or field trip that includes one or more days of travel to Baja California, Mexico.
Academic Related-Travel
A non-credit experience related to an academic program or international experience requirement that is organized and or led by an SDSU professor or department (Ex. group trips for research, fieldwork, conference attendance, and theatrical performances) .
Propose a Faculty-led Program
Proposals will be evaluated with input from International Affairs, department heads, and college deans. Please note that all Summer Global Seminars are run on the state-support side and not through Global Campus. Applicants are urged to discuss their proposal and course selection with their department head before submitting a proposal to International Affairs.
Many factors are considered in approving programs including summer faculty instructional costs, risk management and the level of staffing and resources available.
