Faculty Leaders
UC International wants to make international collaboration opportunities possible by providing faculty and staff members with the support and resources they need.
Work With Us.
Over 1,700 students study abroad every year, and 1,000 of those students participate in faculty-led programs designed by UC professors and staff.
In addition to tools and guidance in planning a faculty-led study abroad program, we provide grant opportunities to research program opportunities, train future program leaders and support students.
Contact our office for questions and assistance. UC International is committed to supporting you in any way we can!
Developing a Program
The faculty-led toolkit will guide you through the planning and development of a program, managing a program on the ground, and post-travel resources.
Our toolkit is hosted on Bearcats Landing, UC's intranet website for faculty and staff.
Grant Opportunities
UC International offers the following grants to support the development and success of faculty-led programs.
- Faculty-Led Development Grant: Funding for faculty to research a new location or re-visit a location to establish connections within a community and organize program logistics
- Mentoring Grant: Funding for leaders to experience an established program. The grant's current focus is to expand our network of leaders who have group travel experience.
- Block Scholarships Grant: Funding for student scholarships participating in a faculty-led program. Faculty apply on behalf of the students for funding allocated to their faculty-led study abroad program. Contact UC International for a timeline of next year’s applications for block grants.
Health and Safety
The health and safety of our faculty and students is our top priority. UC requires all participants be covered by CISI health insurance and encourages all travelers to be informed of health and safety risks prior to travel.
