国际教师主导的研究和学习计划

概述

这是什么??

Faculty-led programs (FLPs) are short-term study abroad or research programs led by a 教师 member who wishes to bring the classroom to life by extending the educational experience to the real world. These programs can add a dimension to the student’s educational experience by helping the student compete and succeed in a global environment.

多短才算短?

在一般情况下, the longer a student is culturally engaged in another country’s culture the better, 然而, it’s understood certain student populations may find a short-term study abroad opportunity more accessible and appealing. While an “ideal” length for a short-term study abroad program is anywhere from four to twelve weeks, 有些课程只有一个星期. 这些较短的节目通常被称为 学习之旅 而且是学期课程的极好补充. Harvey Mudd College’s (HMC) Dickens-Hardy course is a fine example of this. 不管长度是多少, a quality program will include specific opportunities for intercultural growth, 积极的学习环境, 以及适当的健康/安全协议.

谁来领导这个项目?

Faculty-led programs are department and 教师 dependent and are usually developed by a 教师 member(s) to meet a specific academic need and/or cultural interest. The program will optimally have two 教师 members who act as Faculty Directors (or they can act as co-directors) who develop and market the program, 选择学生等. The Office of 出国留学 (OSA) will partner with the 教师 in finding the appropriate study abroad program provider to assist with program development, 确定留学地点, 了解金融, 国内物流. Student information regarding these programs will be available from the academic departments.

我该如何开始?

We recommend scheduling some time with OSA to discuss locations, program provider options etc. Once the initial logistics are developed 教师 will proceed to the approval process:

第一阶段 is the pre-approval and allows the 教师 to introduce the program (i.e. 课程细节,学生学习和发展等.)致系主任及同事. Once approved by the department chair, the 教师 will proceed to the next step.

二期 进入财务等后勤细节, 定义住房, 确定学生的访问需求, 签证信息, 项目营销, 学生申请之类的.
The OSA will be able to assist the 教师 member with direction on the overall process and in defining program needs and selecting the appropriate program provider with which to partner.

这个过程需要多长时间?

Developing your FLP will take time, and the OSA recommends you start at least 18个月 提前. Working with an OSA program provider will be a welcome addition to the development of your program.

Health and Safety for Faculty/Student International Travel

Harvey Mudd College takes the safety of 教师 and students traveling abroad seriously. For short-term programs we ask the Faculty Director and participants to follow the process below.

HMC国际旅行程序

  • 检查 健康及安全指引. Many of the aspects will also apply to the student’s non-academic year, short-term experience abroad.
  • 通过审查了解国家的安全水平 The Department of State’s (DOS) new travel advisory system. This will be helpful when selecting a potential program location.
  • Verify all parties have proper health insurance coverage.
  • Verify all parties have a proper health screening at least six months prior to departure.
  • Verify all health/safety forms are completed prior to departure. 这些表格的副本应提供给民政事务主任.

保险

Both the Faculty Director and students are required to have personal medical insurance that will cover them while abroad. 因为很多人.S. insurance policies don’t provide international comprehensive care, the College has AIG international coverage and Zurich travel accident coverage.

克莱蒙特学院旅游数据库

克莱蒙特学院 has chosen to utilize the Crisis 24/WorldAware database to help manage safety and provide students, 教师, and staff with 24/7 access to security advice and support while travelling. Instructions on how to use the database are included in the 形式 section.
