Other Opportunities for CU Faculty and Graduate Students

The following information and links are intended to provide University of Colorado faculty and students with options for funding from outside sources and/or special opportunities. Please contact each organization for additional details.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR SUMMER FACULTY-LED COURSES IN EAST ASIA

CU faculty are encouraged to submit proposals to organize and teach an undergraduate course in East Asia (China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan and neighboring countries) in summer 2009 or later.

Courses may focus on any topic related to East Asia, in any discipline, but should be designed to draw a diverse audience and encourage greater interest in East Asia. Maximum use should be made of the location, on-site resources, and connections with local communities. Faculty will receive the normal salary for teaching a summer course in addition to having their expenses paid as part of the program fee. Up to 15 students may be accommodated, and each student will receive a partial scholarship to subsidize participation.

There will be two main areas of faculty responsibility in designing the course: one is academic and the second is logistical. Pre-proposals will be reviewed for academic quality by the CAS Curriculum Committee. Logistical matters will be dealt with in the second phase of this competition, which will be managed by the Office of International Education and the Study Abroad Committee. Pre-proposals should include a draft syllabus clarifying how your course design will fulfill the requirements of a three-credit course and an explanation of how this course meets the goals of encouraging student interest in study of East Asia.

Proposals for summer 2009 must be received by October 15, 2008; proposals for 2010 or later are due by November 15, 2008. Submit proposals to Danielle Rocheleau Salaz (CAS, CB 279), cas@colorado.edu.

Temple University, Japan

TUJ, a full branch campus of Temple University in Philadelphia, was recognized by the Japanese Ministry of Education just last year, and is now able to sponsor international students with a student visa.  This has given TUJ the ability to welcome more non-Japanese students to our already international campus.

TUJ provides a unique opportunity for students wishing to study in Tokyo in English under an American education system.  With an average class size of 15 students, stimulating lectures and personal teacher-student contact is guaranteed.  Coupled with a diverse and dynamic student body representing 40 countries around the world, TUJ students graduate as bilingual and bicultural forerunners in their field of study.

All incoming students can apply for our numerous scholarships, American students can apply for financial aid, many students work part time, and there is a wide variety of internship opportunities.
