Professor/Instructor Makes the Syllabus

ARAMFO Foundation does not create the syllabi on behalf of professors, but rather, helps them to create the international trip to the desired location that matches their disciplines and curricula. Professors need to design their syllabi as a regular course. Then they can collaborate with the ARAMFO team to make the trip a practical part in the course design. Professors might choose to offer the trip as a travel course for 3 to 6 credit hours (as an example).

Professors can focus on teaching their students inside their classrooms and ARAMFO will work to enhance these learning experiences by engaging students into real world, international experiences that are relevant to the curricula. Working with ARAMFO has many benefits that support this major aim:
