Faculty-led Program Proposal Process & Application

CSUSB faculty-led programs are the cornerstone of our Education Abroad opportunities. All faculty and staff who wish to lead a program abroad are required to submit a thoughtfully designed proposal for review and approval.

Proposals

Faculty and staff interested in leading programs abroad may submit their proposals via an online application process through the CSUSB Education Abroad website.

• Credit programs: https://goabroad.csusb.edu/?go=facultyledproposal 
• Non-Credit Programs: https://goabroad.csusb.edu/?go=noncreditprogram  

The CSUSB Office of Education Abroad provides administrative and logistical support and will support the development of your program.
