Faculty-led Program Proposal Form
2025 Faculty-led Abroad Program Proposal Period Is Now Open!
Appalachian offers 50+ faculty-led education abroad programs per year in 25+ countries!
Thanks to your personal commitment of time and energy, combined with your academic and international expertise, many Appalachian students are gaining an invaluable education abroad experience each year!
Faculty-led education abroad programs offer enriching experiences for both student participants and faculty leaders. The Office of International Education and Development (OIED) would like to encourage you to consider leading a program! By leading an international program, you can help Appalachian students gain a hands-on international perspective in your field of study while fostering their awareness and understanding of an increasingly diverse and global world. As a program leader, you also benefit from a stimulating and rewarding teaching experience abroad.
Our mission at OIED is to work together with faculty and academic departments to develop an international educational experience abroad for Appalachian students and to assist prospective program leaders in developing new programs.
Faculty-led Education Abroad Program online proposal system
OIED's online faculty-led education abroad proposal system is housed within Via TRM. The online proposal largely mirrors the former paper-based proposal, but streamlines the process by reducing or eliminating the need for wasteful paper and physically obtaining signatures. We realize that there is a learning curve for those who haven't yet used it, but we hope that ultimately you will find this system beneficial and time-saving.
Proposal deadlines
Each department may establish their own internal deadline for receiving proposals for faculty led programs. These deadlines must be at least two weeks earlier than the deadline for submission to OIED.
