  1. Short Term Program Development

  2. Study abroad background • Short term program must haves • Short term program preferences • Roles/Responsibilities • Cost/Payment • Success/Failure • How to do it Overview

  3. 900 Loyola students abroad each year (700 undergrad or 32.7% of graduating class—34th nationally in undergraduate participation) • Goal is 1000 undergrads • Growth will be in short term programs and in underrepresented students • Short term programing is also a national trend • Your background with Study Abroad Study abroad background

  4. "I’d be a boring person without study abroad I think and I learned so many things like I have friends that were from Finland I have friends that were from Holland, Norway and Sweden." • "The way they live there is different than the way we live here. I learned to live a different way. I learned to calm down and be ok without being busy. You learn patience. You learn how to talk to people who are different from you. You learn that you aren’t the only person in the world." Tracy Vega, Political ScienceBeijing Center-Fall 2010, Denmark-USAC Spring 2011 • “I feel like I’ve always been the type of person, not to change people’s perceptions but I feel that if you put yourself in the best light and put your best foot forward then people will see you for who you are and eventually not in the stereotypes that they initially put you in.” TaheraRahmanAlicante, Spain-USAC Spring 2012Journalism and International Studies Tracy and Tahera

  5. Cost – Program including Tuition, fees, airfare, etc. should not exceed $4,500 • Enrollment – minimum of 10/maximum of 25 students, second faculty, staff or graduate assistant at 15 students • Course – 1 to 3 credits, cross listed to maximize possibilities, ideally should count toward major/minor/core/engaged learning • Destination – safe and mass appeal (travel.state.gov) • Length – 10 to 14 days (first half Jan, second half May. This may affect how far you can travel) • Faculty leader – must be knowledgeable/credible with respect to destination Program Must Haves

  6. Draw Diverse students— students with underrepresented major, ethnic/racial, economic background • Destination— what works….exciting/warm/and in close proximity for a January program is ideal. May term has more flexibility • Local Partner —experienced in country partner (Brazil, Cuba, Chile, Peru, etc.) • Too close — do not replicate already established Loyola programs • Scholarship/Stipend — college/departmentdevelop $500 to $1000 per student stipend (J and May term are out of pocket for students only Alternative loans and anything left over) Program Preferences

  7. Proposal—Faculty • Program Development—Faculty/OIP • Student Recruitment/Marketing—Faculty/OIP • Admission/Enrollment/Billing—OIP • Pre-departure—OIP and Faculty (trip leader training, student orientation) • While abroad—Faculty leader is fully responsible 24/7 with OIP backstopping • After—Faculty and OIP, grades, evaluations, debrief Roles/Responsibilities

  8. Program fee collected from students covers faculty airfare, local lodging and meals, travel/health insurance, visa if needed and needed program expenses • Tuition generated covers salary for one course • Second trip leader at 15 students Cost/Payment

  9. Proposal (see packet) by 1 February • OIP available for questions/support • Follow up workshop? Prior to 1 Feb? • OIP will review proposals and notify by 1 March • Finalize and launch marketing/outreach 1 April • Lets review packet now How to do it

  10. Failure—cost too high, program too narrow, destination not of interest, faculty member not fully engaged • Success—Peter Schraeder Faculty Lead program to Tunisia; Father Mitten, Faculty Lead to Belize Success/Failure

  11. OIP will cancel programs that do not make minimum enrollment • Programs can be stand alone or add-ons for a course that would be completed during either Fall or Spring semester, with a required course trip during the J-term or May term (caution, this limits your recruiting pool with a higher chance that the program will not run) • Family members/friends of faculty leader should not travel as part of the trip may join before or after • Health and Safety trip leader training More information
