UW Bothell offers grants supporting international course collaborations

UW Bothell is spearheading a UW-wide effort to deepen global engagement of students in the classroom by supporting online collaborations with international partners. These collaborations support the development of leading-edge, globally-focused student experiences without requiring students to travel abroad.

The new COIL International Fellows program is designed to support UW faculty and staff from all UW campuses to develop Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) courses. The initiative is overseen by Global Initiatives and funded by a Mellon Foundation Area and International Studies Initiative grant.
