CEA CAPA-Taught
Your vision, CEA CAPA faculty.
In the CEA CAPA-Taught Academics model, we work with your institution to create a program where students take courses from our distinguished faculty based abroad. This method offers direct, immersive instruction from experienced local faculty, helping you achieve your internationalization goals without needing to send a faculty leader.
Top Benefits of the CEA CAPA-Taught Model
- Local Expertise & Contextual Relevance: Hiring local faculty ensures academic content is deeply connected to the host country’s cultural and social context, enriching students' learning. For example, an environmental science course in Australia taught by a local expert offers firsthand insights into regional ecological issues.
- Cost Efficiency & Resource Optimization: Local faculty eliminate travel costs associated with sending faculty abroad, freeing up resources for enriching program components such as cultural excursions and career readiness workshops. By offering courses abroad when a class is full and home campus faculty are unavailable, utilizing local faculty may also assist in alleviating campus waitlists.
- Program Sustainability & Continuity: Partnering with CEA CAPA for local faculty sourcing ensures consistent program offerings that are unaffected by faculty availability at your home institution. This guarantees long-term program viability and attracts students year after year.
Recruitment Support
CEA CAPA can help with recruitment by partnering with your institution on strategies and promotional efforts, such as marketing materials or informational sessions. By showcasing our local faculty's expertise and the immersive opportunities they provide, we can effectively attract students and support program consistency and growth.
