Clemson Abroad seeks proposals for faculty-directed study abroad programs for the 2015-16 academic year.

Submit proposals through online process

Beginning with this 2016 proposal cycle, Clemson Abroad has moved to an online process for faculty-directed programs (both new and renewal programs). This process will help gather and share information about programs electronically and integrate better with our student enrollment management software, which was implemented for student applications in fall 2014.

For new and renewal proposals, apply here.

Know the proposal deadline

The deadline to receive new proposals and proposal renewals for 2016 (Spring, Spring Break and Summer) programs is 4:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 31.

Attend an information session

Clemson Abroad will conduct several information sessions to explain and orient faculty through the new process and to answer questions. We request faculty that are currently planning to propose new programs, or are renewing/offering programs during the 2015-16 year, attend one of the sessions.

All sessions will be held in B-106 Barre Hall:

Wednesday, Aug. 12 from 3-4 p.m.
