Course Internationalization Grant

COURSE INTERNATIONALIZATION GRANT

Grant Initiative

In an effort to enhance student learning outcomes and incorporate an increased number of high-quality international course options, APSU issues this call for faculty-initiated and- developed projects to design new international options of general education core requirements and high-impact, high-enrolled courses.  The Office of Academic Affairs will provide financial and academic support for faculty to incorporate international travel components in existing APSU courses. Course design will take place during Spring 2012 and will be piloted in the 2012-2013 academic year. Participation is open to all full-time faculty.
