Faculty-Led 项目 (FLPs) provide an opportunity for San Jose State University faculty to expand their field knowledge, gain off-campus teaching experience (internationally and domestically), establish and/or reconnect with colleagues and contacts outside of 硅谷 and help build more global citizens through an international 菠菜网lol正规平台 课程. This is possible through leading a cohort of students on programs outside of the Bay Area (internationally and domestically) while teaching an 菠菜网lol正规平台 course relevant to the host location.

The 出国留学 and 走了 office provides expertise and assistance to faculty in developing short-term credit-bearing programming for our students that have a cross-cultural focus and provide an experientially-based vehicle for teaching 菠菜网lol正规平台 courses domestically and internationally. If you are interested in developing a program that will offer courses for credit during the spring, winter or summer breaks – we can help!  请 contact the Director of 出国留学 and 走了 to discuss your idea and learn about how we can facilitate your program. 

出国留学 and 走了 does offer co-curricular Alternative Break 项目 domestically 和国外. These programs focus on cultural immersion and community engagement, and often include a service-learning project to engage with the local community. 另一种选择 Break 项目 offered through 出国留学 and 走了 focus on learning about local 文化. They are not discipline-specific and do not offer academic credit. 

If you are interested in developing a co-curricular program that highlights or focuses on an academic area in your discipline but does not include cultural immersion as a key element of the program, please work with the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Education and your college Dean’s office to develop a field trip or alternative spring break through your college.
