Developing and Delivering a Study Abroad Class: Meeting the Needs of All Stakeholders

David Lewis, University of Massachusetts - Lowell

ABSTRACT
This paper describes the year long process of creation and delivery of a study abroad class. We trace the process from initial inception to final delivery. Although all stakeholders at the university were on board to strengthen the University's study abroad program, it was far from a seamless process to get the class approved, get students enrolled, and finally deliver the class. This paper describes the process, hurdles, and final delivery of a class at our University. We conclude with some lessons learned to help others planning a similar endeavor.
