Faculty / Staff- Thank you for your interest in planning a Faculty-led Study Abroad (FLSA) (or Study Away) program for credit*!

Leading a group of students is a daunting, challenging, but rewarding experience. You will need to step out of your traditional university role to serve as a marketer, mentor, counselor, and group leader. Download the PowerPoint presentation below to get started and review the Department of State's travel warning's map for the country and area you want to visit- Travel.State.Gov.

In the Downloads section, pay close attention to the Presentation, Proposal, and Checklist. (The Manual is very detailed and while needs updating, will prove useful for you when planning a study abroad.) If you would like a Word copy of any of the forms, please let our Study Abroad Coordinator know: oge@uncp.edu. And note that meeting with the Study Abroad Coordinator is required before you submit your FLSA Proposal.

*For credit means your academic course has a travel component and listed like a special topics course (PLSS). You also have the option of cross-listing your course with WLS 2990, but approval from the Registrar and Dr. Liz Normandy is needed for that. If the experience is strictly for travel and there will be no credit given or academic component, then the trip is not considered an official Study Abroad/Away program.
