The Benefits of Faculty-Led Study Abroad
- Customized — A tailored program that meets the needs of your institution—you decide the program length, time of year and courses.
- Cost-Saving — Your institution retains student tuition fees.
- Status Friendly — Student financial aid still applies, making study abroad an option for more students.
- Credit Retention — Your institution provides credit, so there is no issue of transfer.
- Internationalization — Great opportunity to provide faculty development and globalize your campus.
- Risk-Free — AIFS books the on-site facilities/services and pays any deposits, so there is no financial risk to your institution.
- Simple — Once the program details have been agreed upon, sit back and let AIFS do all the non-academic planning and make all the on-site arrangements.
"Sometimes life can be simple: that's why every year I have AIFS organize my study abroad program. I recruit students, I teach my class, and AIFS does everything else, and they always do it very well."
- William Wrightson, American River College, CA
"Working for many years with AIFS has proven to be a highly collaborative partnership. They have been excellent in supporting us in a number of different ways - with academic resources, student services, logistics and of course by the incredibly dedicated staff. Our faculty are always grateful for how knowledgeable and helpful the partnership staff are at every turn, in every situation."
- Ann Hubbard, University of St. Thomas, MN
