Study Abroad
TU Faculty-Led Programs
The Towson University Study Abroad Office, in partnership with TU academic units and colleges, facilitates and develops study abroad programs for students. All TU study abroad credit-bearing programs are administered by the Towson University Study Abroad Office.
Study abroad program proposals should originate with faculty and should carry the endorsement of appropriate departmental and college administrators.
The SAO welcomes early, informal consultation by faculty and units for program planning and encourages coordinated programming among departments. Academic units and colleges are responsible for review of program and course subject matter and instructional delivery methods. We invite TU faculty interested in developing short-term study abroad programs to consult our Faculty Handbook for further information.
Proposal Deadlines:
The faculty-led program proposal submission deadline for 2009 has now passed. Proposals for 2010 are due by March 15, 2009.
Proposal Procedures:
Faculty members interested in proposing a new faculty-led study abroad program should submit the Towson University Faculty-Led Study Abroad Program Proposal to the Towson University Study Abroad Office by March 15 of the year before the dates of the proposed program.
Faculty members interested in repeating a faculty-led study abroad program should submit the Repeat Towson University Faculty-Led Study Abroad Program Proposal to the Towson University Study Abroad Office by March 15 of the year before the dates of the proposed program.
Program proposals that have the support of the chair(s) and dean(s) of the sponsoring TU department(s) and college(s) will be reviewed by the TU Study Abroad Director and forwarded to to the Faculty Committee on Study Abroad for final approval.
NOTE: The submission deadline is the same for all Towson University faculty-led programs (Minimester, Summer, Fall, and Spring). Although this due date may appear to be early, we must receive proposals by this date because of the complexities of developing and marketing any new program.
