Introduction<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At AIFS Abroad, our mission is to provide the highest quality, comprehensive, and innovative global education programs through a supportive structure for all of our participants and stakeholders around the world.

What are CFL programs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pioneered by AIFS in the 1980\u2019s, customized faculty-led study abroad programs are formal arrangements between AIFS Abroad and educational institutions in which AIFS Abroad provides logistical support, student services, classrooms, housing facilities and cultural activities at a location abroad, plus student medical insurance and over $50 million of liability insurance for the U.S. college\/university. This arrangement enables institutions to conduct their own academic programs abroad at minimal expense, from two weeks to a full semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Plan Your Program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

AIFS Abroad staff work with either faculty or administrators\/the study abroad office to determine specific requirements, and then we send a detailed proposal which lists program components, fees, application deadlines and refund policies, so it is absolutely clear what is included in the program fee. All land prices are guaranteed in US dollars, and are not affected by currency fluctuations.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\t

Enroll Your Students<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As a partner, the home institution maintains academic control over their students while abroad. The school determines admission criteria and selects and enrolls students. The school retains tuition fees and students pay a non-academic program fee to AIFS Abroad. Faculty from the home institution teach their curriculum abroad (with optional use of local adjunct professors).<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\t

Prepare<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

AIFS Abroad provides logistical support, student services, classrooms, housing and cultural activities at the location abroad. Our on-location Program Staff is responsible for the day-to-day running of each program, ensuring everything goes smoothly. They provide logistical and pastoral support, allowing the faculty to focus on the academics. AIFS Abroad also offers a full range of social and cultural activities for students. Staff on the overseas campus arrange weekend excursions, theater visits, contact with local students and other cultural activities, adding another valuable dimension to the student’s foreign experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n
