Course Design

Our office works with faculty interested in developing and directing study abroad courses for MSU Denver students. Study abroad courses are first and foremost extensions of the University’s academic programs, and offer students an educational opportunity that they cannot receive on campus.  Any full-time tenured, tenure-track faculty member, Category II or emeritus faculty member [if previously led a study abroad program], may design a study abroad course from which MSU Denver students will benefit.
