Info for Faculty
Education abroad programs deeply impact both the academic and personal development of our students and are intended to be an integral part of the student experience at SAIC. The Study Abroad Office is here to support and mentor faculty who are in the various phases of considering, planning, and/or directing short-term programs with advice, policy guidance, and curricular and logistical considerations.
Over the last few years, the Study Abroad Office has supported a wide array of successful, diverse, and exciting study trips. Program proposals brought forward by SAIC's many talented faculty allowed students to engage with other cultures, exposed them to professional networks, and broadened their practice. To continue these meaningful student experiences, we are entering a new faculty-led study trip proposal cycle that will run during the 2026/2027 academic year.
We are currently accepting proposals for study trips for academic years 2027/2028 and 2028/2029, for the following terms:
- Winter 2028
- Summer 2028
- Winter 2029
- Summer 2029
Faculty should review the Study Trip Proposal and Development Guidelines to help them navigate through the process and prepare a successful proposal. The Guidelines are informed by SAIC's course proposal processes and industry-recognized Standards of Good Practice for Education Abroad. The Guidelines document and corresponding materials that should serve as a framework for preparing, planning, and submitting your proposal are linked below.
To provide an overview of the proposal process and address any questions faculty may have, Study Abroad hosted an info session on October 16, 2026. Please view the recording below.
