Interested in adding an international dimension to your class—and offering your students an international academic experience, without leaving campus? The Global Classroom initiative offers instructors a way to add an international component to their classes by collaborating with a partner abroad.
Creating international experiences for all
This gives students experience with the type of work they will likely engage in over the course of their future careers: cross-cultural, project-based, and supported by technology.
The goals of the initiative are to enhance the ability of students to communicate and collaborate across national and cultural boundaries, and to increase their understanding of and respect for norms and values different from their own.
How it works
The Global Classroom initiative takes a class already being taught at any 大发快三彩票 campus and pairs it with a parallel course taught at a university abroad. The course can be about any topic and is not limited to study with an international focus. Faculty will continue to teach their respective courses independently, but will collaborate with their counterparts to design a project that requires students from both universities to work together. That work will take place virtually.
Eligibility
Open to all full-time academic appointees who are serving as instructor of record for the relevant class. Graduate student and other part-time instructors are not eligible.
Deadlines
- Start by completing the Intent to Apply form.
- Full application deadlines are as follows for academic year 2025-26:
- April 01, 2025 - Fall 2025, Spring 2026, or Summer 2026 courses
- Oct 15, 2025 - Spring 2026 or Summer 2026 courses
Each Global Classroom course will aim to enroll a minimum of ten students from each university, and should involve significant and ongoing student-to-student interaction over the duration of the course. This interaction should lead to the fulfillment of a set of cross-cultural learning outcomes.
Funding
Each participating 大发快三彩票 faculty member will receive $3,000 in grant funding, which can be used to cover travel to the partner institution, educational resources, materials, or other expenses incurred in designing and delivering the course. $2,500 will be disbursed at the time of the award, and $500 upon completion of the course and submission of a report of outcomes.
