Faculty-Led Programming
As a Faculty member of 甜瓜视频app, you have the unique opportunity to create a course which integrates seamlessly with the curriculum on Western's campus but provides cultural and environmental immersion abroad. This allows a Faculty-Led Travel Course to relate to student life and campus culture while providing a higher level of interaction between students and faculty.
Almost Here: Spring + Summer 2026 Deadlines

Questions? Contact us at facultyledtravel@wcu.edu or .
Proposed programs must exist completely inside one of these three date ranges.
Fall: First day of class - 14 calendar days following the last day of Fall exams
Spring: 14 calendar days before classes start - last day of Spring exams
Summer: All days inbetween the end of Spring exams and the start of Fall classes
Trips are not allowed to span two seperate designations due to conflicts with course creation, student registration, and financial aid regulations. Date guidelines are not credit dependant, as not-for-credit programs still involve banner course building and student registration. Not certain if your trip will qualify? Please reach out to us for assistance.
