Faculty Information

RIT Study Abroad Committee

The Study Abroad Committee is constituted of a faculty member or administrator appointed by each college dean, representatives from administrative offices supporting study abroad programs, and chaired by the Director of Academic Enhancement Programs (AEP).

The members of the committee work closely to ensure that RIT Study Abroad Programs meet the highest standards, consistent with RIT’s Strategic Plan. The college liaisons oversee the implementation of the Study Abroad Guidelines in each college, and the administrative offices work with the faculty and departments that run the programs once the study abroad programs have been approved. The Director of Academic Enhancement Programs coordinates the program approval process and the work of the committee.
