Call for Faculty Proposals: CSU International Programs Summer 2027 Faculty-Led Programs

Announced on: Friday, Mar. 27, 2026

CSU International Programs (CSUIP) is launching its inaugural faculty-led summer programs for Summer 2027. Please share the information below with faculty on your campus.

These programs are designed to expand access to study abroad through short-term, high-impact experiences that integrate academic rigor with immersive, place-based learning. Faculty will have the opportunity to design and lead a three-week, 3-unit course in one of three global locations: Italy, Spain, or Ghana.

Why this matters and why faculty should care:

• A chance to bring their curriculum to life in a global context
• Direct engagement with students in a high-impact, experiential setting
• Support from CSUIP on logistics, program development, and recruitment so faculty can focus on the academic vision
• An opportunity to contribute to CSU systemwide efforts to expand equitable access to study abroad

Programs will run in two sessions (June and July 2027), and faculty will play a central role in shaping the academic and experiential components of the program while collaborating closely with CSUIP throughout development and delivery.

We are looking for faculty who:

• Are strong, student-centered teachers
• Have ideas for experiential learning abroad tied to their discipline
• Are motivated to engage and recruit a diverse group of students
• May not have previously led a study abroad program but are ready to step into that role

Application Details:

• Faculty can find full program information and application instructions here: CSUIP Faculty-Led Proposal Site
• Application deadline: April 15, 2026
• Review process: Begins immediately after the deadline
• Decision notifications: Expected by May 1, 2026
