While the central criterion in evaluating proposals for this type of course is the educational value of the travel component, the unique nature and cost of short-term study abroad courses lead the college to use an extended time frame and more extensive criteria for their development and review. Given the preparation time and resources required for study abroad courses, an expression of intent to propose a short-term study abroad course or program should follow the deadlines outlined below. The Curriculum Committee will review and approve courses based upon their pedagogical merit, but because of financial and administrative factors, the final decision to offer a short-term study abroad course rests with the Dean of the Faculty in consultation with the directors of the Office of International Programs or Summer Sessions. For most short-term study abroad courses, including new and existing courses, sponsoring faculty should anticipate a 12-18 month process of proposing, planning and preparing the course. For example, faculty proposing a study abroad course for academic year (winter or spring break) 2008 should submit expression of intent by October 15, 2006. Faculty proposing a study abroad course for summer 2007 should submit expression of intent by June 1, 2006. Short-term study abroad courses offered during winter or spring break should respect the existing academic calendar by scheduling travel to and from the destination when classes are not in session. 1.) PROCESS AND DEADLINES A limited number of short-term study abroad courses are expected to be approved for each academic year. The number of courses will not usually exceed four; the number of students will not usually exceed 60, unless resources allow.

RESOURCES AND LOGISTICS: The questions below are intended to elicit information that will allow the Short-Term Study Abroad Committee to assess the resource implications of the course or program. Because study abroad requires extensive resources, the proposal must include evidence of consultation on resource implications with the relevant department chair(s) and the directors of the Office of International Programs and/or Summer Sessions. Limits on staff resources, limits on student financial aid, practical obstacles, emerging safety concerns at the host location, financial considerations, low levels of enrollment, or other factors may, of necessity, lead at any point to the cancellation of an otherwise approved course or program. Judgments concerning the specifically practical or financial viability of a course rest with the Dean of the Faculty, the Director of International Programs and/or the Director of Summer Sessions. a) How will this new course affect the instructors teaching schedule? b) Will the course replace a course previously offered by the instructor? (If so, then you must submit a Routine Course Revision Form to delete the course.) c) Will offering the study abroad course require hiring adjunct faculty to cover an on-campus course? Explain. d) Provide an estimated budget based on realistic estimates of all costs of the course, including partner institutions, classroom space, housing and meal arrangements, international and local transportation, accommodations for field trips, safety and health considerations, and admission fees. Please attach detailed information prepared in consultation with the Director of International Programs and/or the Director of Summer Sessions.
