Faculty-Led Education Abroad Program (FLEAP) Proposal

A committee will review this FLEAP proposal, including its relevance to the proposed program site(s), and your expertise in the subject matter and/or location(s). Student interest, costs, support from your department, and potential for long-term sustainability will also be factors. We may require additional information before the final decision, either from you or the third-party provider. In some cases, the committee may ask the faculty to revise and resubmit their proposal. We may only accept some proposals or ask that you run your proposed program later.

Faculty on approved FLEAP proposals may begin to recruit students.
