The Office of International Education is pleased to work with faculty to develop and administer faculty-led study away programs for undergraduate and graduate students. Faculty-led programs are credit-bearing study abroad experiences that are developed and led by Buffalo State faculty and/or staff. These programs deliver specific Buffalo State courses and are completed partially or entirely abroad. Time spent abroad generally ranges from one to eight weeks. Faculty-led programs are a valuable tool in promoting campus internationalization at Buffalo State and provide affordable international experiences to our students.
Buffalo State faculty are invited to propose and plan faculty-led credit-bearing study abroad programs in collaboration with the Office of International Education. There is a lot of work involved in developing and conducting a successful faculty-led study abroad program. Below you will find the Faculty-Led Program Handbook, a document that will serve as a crucial resource for you as you develop your program.
