This project aims to offer an inclusive and innovative approach to promoting student physical mobility by designing « high credit value” study abroad programs in which course credit for a single study abroad trip is maximized, thereby addressing two key barriers to participation for historically-underrepresented students: high cost, and delayed time to graduation.
The project will also assess and build on infrastructure that was developed during previous GSO funding, which included creating comprehensive intercultural training, wraparound support services, enhancing the mobility and risk management protocols and policies, and creating internal faculty capacity for COIL course development and delivery.
