Faculty-led Resources

Thank you for your interest in leading a summer or short-term education abroad program and for your efforts toward the greater internationalization of UNCW.

All faculty-led, credit-bearing programs involving UNCW students abroad must be approved by the Office of Education Abroad after review by the International Programs Advisory Committee (IPAC).

Process

Deadline	Programs with travel associated with:
Wednesday, January 14, 2026	Fall 2026 (late proposal submissions)
Wednesday, April 2, 2025	Spring 2026 or Summer 2026
Wednesday, September 3, 2025	Spring 2026 or Summer 2026 (late proposal submissions), and Fall 2026

Please note that program leaders who submit their program proposals by the preferred deadlines (not late deadlines) are eligible to receive a program leader stipend. In order to receive the stipend the program leader's name and information must be included in the originally submitted proposal, the program must recruit enough students to run, and the program leader must physically go on the program. Additionally, leaders must be classified as Exempt employees at UNCW for the duration of the program to be eligible. Non-exempt employees and non-UNCW employees are not eligible for the stipend. If a program leader who was named on the originally submitted proposal becomes physically unable to travel during the program dates, another leader may replace them and receive the stipend instead as long as all other eligibility criteria are met.

To start the process, simply follow the steps as outlined below. If you are a first-time faculty-leader or for more information, please contact Kara Pike Inman, pikek@uncw.edu, Director of Education Abroad.
