In order to encourage and enable all undergraduate students to study abroad, Syracuse University faculty and administrators are encouraged to develop new curricular pathways and opportunities that take advantage of off-campus locations and resources.
The following steps provide guidance and resources for developing proposals that are most likely to be successful. Priority will be given to courses/programs that best enable more students to go abroad, that leverage the local context, and that align with school/college curricular goals for study abroad/away.
Planning New Programs and Courses Abroad
Step 1: Identify Opportunities and Audiences
Step 2: Submit Interest Form to Study Abroad Liaison
Step 3: Submit Formal Proposal to Academic Affairs Committee
Note: If you are seeking to renew a faculty-led program that was approved in the past, please submit a renewal request.
Deadlines
Interest Forms must be submitted by the following deadlines:
- January 20: for faculty-led programs (new and renewals)* and semester-long programs and courses
- June 20: for semester-long programs and courses only
*Note on faculty-led programs (new and renewals): Faculty-led program proposals and renewal requests must be submitted by January 20 for programs intended to run the following year (e.g., if you are interested in running your program the summer of 2026, you need to submit your renewal by January 20, 2025).
Faculty cannot be on leave or off campus the academic year prior to leading/teaching their course abroad.
