Standards of Good Practice For Short-Term Education Abroad Programs

Today, The Forum on Education Abroad released their Standards of Good Practice for Short-Term Education Abroad Programs and made them available on their website. The Forum Standards Committee states in the introduction that “the intent of the Standards for Short-Term Programs are not a substitute for the more general standards” and that they “are intended to be utilized together as companions to provide the most comprehensive guidance for short-term program management.” The Forum Standards Committee notes that they chose not to deliver the Standards for Short-Term Programs in the query-based format which is found in the Standards of Good Practice for Education Abroad and instead chose to write these standards in a direct way. Thanks should be given to the Forum Standards Committee and the staff at The Forum on Education Abroad for bringing this important publication to market.
