FACULTY DIRECTED TRAVEL PROGRAMS
Instructions for Use

Thank you for wanting to explore the world with your students. Below you will find all of the necessary forms for a successful travel program. To get started, please download the checklist.

Before advertising to students and staff, please follow the checklist and complete a Travel Proposal and Budget. The budget will allow the Office of Foreign Programs to work with you in recruiting the ideal number of participants to cover costs while maximizing the travel experience.

Following completion of the Travel Proposal and Budget, please create a preliminary itinerary. Once complete, please contact the Office of Foreign Programs [OFP] to schedule a planning meeting. You can contact David Shove-Brown at shovebrown@cua.edu or at 202.319.5786 to schedule an appointment.

At this meeting the OFP will work with you to establish a marketing scheme and schedule to promote your program. We will then cover all necessary forms to be completed by all faculty, staff and students. Those forms can be downloaded here:
