“GlobaLinks Learning Abroad created these courses to ease the process for universities and faculty who want to lead their students on successful academic experiences abroad but may not have the time or the expertise to plan the entire program,” said Cynthia Banks, Executive Director and CEO of GlobaLinks Learning Abroad.
“Our organization brings more than 20 years of leadership in designing, building and supporting customized faculty-led programs. These nine pre-designed courses represent the best-of-the-best of our most popular programs, keeping in mind we also can customize them in various ways to best suit our university clients.”
The nine pre-designed courses are offered in Australia and New Zealand, as well as in China through partner Next Step Connections in Shanghai, and feature popular academic program areas including engineering, sport, hospitality, business, ecology and the environment, said Steve Luther, Director of Specialty Programs and Outreach for GlobaLinks Learning Abroad.
“These courses give universities and potential faculty program leaders a superb program outline offering daily field visits, guest lectures, and a host of cultural activities,” Luther said. “We start with these templates and then add the faculty leader’s specialty and interests to truly make it personal and relevant for their groups.”
