AIFS Faculty Webpage - Previous Study Abroad Faculty

Program Highlights:
  • SMCCD is a member of the Northern California Study Abroad Consortium, a four-district alliance consisting of SRJC, Los Rios, Diablo Valley, and San Mateo districts.
  • Usually 20-30 students from each college and one instructor from each college are sent abroad.
  • The Consortium signs contracts, usually with the American Institute for Foreign Study (AIFS), who make all of the travel and field trip arrangements. They also provide 24 hour a day, 7 day a week emergency contact.
  • A typical teaching assignment for full-time faculty is four classes, or about 12 units; however, full-time faculty members are compensated for a 100% load for the semester abroad because of the recruiting done prior to leaving.
  • SMCCD faculty members serve as the instructor of record for District’s students enrolled in the Life and Culture class; however, this class is usually taught as a combination of guest lecturers and field trips arranged by AIFS.
  • For adjunct faculty, teaching loads may be from 67% to 134% with an annualized contract. Adjunct faculty members are paid their usual hourly rate of pay.
SMCCD Faculty Benefits:
  • Live and teach abroad for 12 weeks. Travel on your own before or after the session.
  • Full-time (regular) faculty members are paid their usual salary for 100% load. Adjunct faculty are provided an annualized contract and paid at their usual hourly rate.
  • Airfare is paid by AIFS.
  • Faculty are provided with a maximum $3,500* housing stipend and assistance in acquiring appropriate accommodation.
  • Faculty must pay all other costs, such as food, entertainment, and housing costs in excess of the housing stipend.
  • Full participation on all activities scheduled on the itinerary, on the same basis as the students, including transfers, entrances, sightseeing tours, etc.
  • Access to a shared office with computers with internet access.
  • Museum pass.
*Dollar amounts may vary depending on student enrollment and AIFS contract
