| Co-sponsored programs are
study abroad programs which are proposed and sponsored by an academic unit
at MSU, implemented by a foreign host partner institution, and staffed by
non-MSU faculty. Co-sponsored study abroad programs may include exchange
programs, direct enrollment in a foreign university, and consortial or other
provider programs. Co-sponsored programs are comparable in quality to regular
MSU study abroad programs; they constitute an area or field of study that
is encompassed as part of the sponsoring academic unit(s) at MSU. Co-sponsored
programs, upon approval, yield MSU credit and grades. Although the "co-sponsored"
designation and benefits do not automatically extend to all the academic
offerings of a host institution, there may be multiple areas of study within
the host institution that are recognized as MSU co-sponsored programs. Multiple
academic units may decide to pursue cosponsored programs with selected high
quality universities. |
