If you are interested in proposing a Global Perspectives trip, the first thing we recommend doing is contacting the Director of Global Perspectives and arranging a meeting to discuss your ideas.

If you have already met with the director, then check out our instructional videos that will walk you through the steps to submit your proposal. 

Proposals for New and Non-established Trips include:  

  Approved budget  
  Basic trip information

  Contingency plan
  Cross-Cultural justification  

  Itinerary (tentative)

  Syllabi and seat time charts for each course including cross-cultural course  

Proposals for Established Trips include:  
   Approved budget

   Basic trip information

   Contingency plan
   Itinerary (tentative)

You will submit your proposal here on the Global Perspectives website. Refer to our instructional videos for an overview of the process.

The Global Perspectives Committee (GPC) meets several times during the fall semester to review proposals. Please contact the Office of Global Engagement for this year's deadlines for submitting your proposal. After the GPC meeting in which your trip is discussed, you will receive notification from the Office of Global Engagement regarding approval for your trip as well as the next steps in the process.

Regardless of whether your trip is Established or Non-established, you will have to complete a proposal every year. However, once your trip is Established, your proposal will be shorter and require less information.

If you are renewing an established trip, you will fill out a different application that requires less information. For more details about the different items required for Established and Non-established trips, see the question “What do I need for my trip proposal?”

This depends on whether your trip is Established or Non-established. For Non-established trips, syllabi and other course materials need to be updated and submitted for each trip. For Established trips, you will only need to submit a syllabus if you are teaching a class that has not been previously taught on your trip or if your syllabus has changed since your last trip.

Once every step of your proposal has been completed (by the appropriate deadline), your proposal will be sent in its entirety to the applicable Department Chair(s) and Dean(s) before submission to the Global Perspectives Committee. After the GPC meeting you will receive notification from the Office of Global Engagement regarding approval for your trip as well as the next steps in the process.
