国产自拍

Start a Study Away Program

Study Away programs are short-term domestic study options outside of North Georgia where students engage in experiential learning, build relationships with faculty, and gain confidence to participate in other types of high impact practices later in their 国产自拍 career. These options might include urban centers, remote fieldwork, or understanding diverse communities. 

The CGE oversees faculty-led study abroad and study away programs offered through the University of North Georgia. The CGE acts as a partner to the program director throughout the entire process. Review the information on this page and contact CGE to discuss your ideas!


 

Thinking of Proposing a Faculty-Led Program?

Faculty must successfully complete the Study Away Academy prior to proposing a 国产自拍 faculty-led study away.  This three-hour workshop series allows the faculty time to understand and prepare the proposal elements as well as provides access to site visit funding.  If the faculty has successfully directed a faculty-led study abroad/away program at 国产自拍 since 2021, it is not mandatory to go through the Academy to propose a new program.  However, if the returning faculty would like access to the site visit funding, they will need to meet with the CGE Director to discuss the proposal and provide a site visit report at the completion of the travel.

 

Study Away Academy

The Study Away Academy is a workshop series during the spring term to assist faculty new to the development of a faculty-led Study Away Program at 国产自拍. Faculty who successfully complete the Academy will receive site visit funding to finalize the new faculty-led program. For more information and to apply, visit the Study Away Academy page.

Steps for Developing a Successful Study Away Program

  1. Think about your academic knowledge, your interests, and your experience, and pick a location that can help 国产自拍 students achieve their plan of study.
  2. Discuss your ideas with your Department Head.
  3. Discuss your ideas with the Director of the CGE.
  4. Apply for the Study Away Academy. This is a mandatory step in the program development process and provides access to site visit funding.
  5. After completion of the Study Away Academy, conduct a site visit. Meet with the CGE Director in preparation for your visit and review the site visit guidelines.
  6. Submit a completed site visit report to the CGE.
  7. Submit a study away program proposal to the CGE.
  8. Work with the CGE study abroad advisors to market and recruit for your program

When thinking about developing a study away program, ask yourself the following questions:

  • Goals: What are the academic outcomes for developing a study away program?
  • Location: How relevant is the location you are considering to your academic goals?
  • Student Interest: Who is your target market? (Which majors, minors, class level, etc.) Would you have enough student interest for the program?
  • Competition: Are there any similar programs offered to 国产自拍 students that could compete with yours? If yes, what makes yours different?
  • On-Ground Support: Do you have any contacts in the location?

Program Renewals

Faculty who proposed a faculty-led study away program that was cancelled due to lack of enrollment can propose the program one additional time. If the program does not make during the second attempt, the faculty member cannot propose the same program without making substantial changes. Examples would be increasing/decreasing the number of credit hours, the length of the program, the location, etc. Prior to considering making these substantial changes, the faculty will need to work closely with CGE staff to analyze why the initial program did not make enrollment. Items to consider include competition with other programs available to 国产自拍 students, methods of recruitment, cost, location, and number of students eligible for the program among other factors.
