For students, faculty-led programs provide an opportunity to learn in context. Because faculty-led programs tend to be shorter in duration, they can also help open opportunities for students to study abroad when they may not have otherwise been able to due to academic, personal, or financial circumstances.
For faculty, these programs are a great opportunity to network and collaborate with international experts in the field as you conduct site visits, engage in research projects, or connect with Kent State alumni abroad. Faculty-led programs can also provide a way to hold joint programs with international partners and colleagues by opening opportunities for co-teaching, faculty exchanges, or being a visiting lecturer.
For Kent State, faculty-led programs help to advance the university’s strategic priorities and initiatives. These programs are also a great way to help further internationalize the curriculum.
