Faculty-Led Programs

Your course, taught in the place it is about.

Schedule a Discovery CallAbout The Groundwork

The model

The faculty member leads. We carry everything else.

A faculty-led program works when the person who knows the material is the person in the room with the students. Our job is to make that possible — to handle the ground operation, the community relationships and the paperwork so the faculty lead can spend the term teaching rather than troubleshooting.

Two ways in

Bring a course, or build one with us

Track one

Bring your course

You already teach the course. We build the Ghana component around the outcomes you have on the books.

  • You keep authorship of the syllabus, assessment and credit hours
  • We map each learning outcome to specific sites, hosts and field exercises
  • Contact hours are logged in-country so registrars can verify them
  • Typical lead time is two academic terms

Best for

Departments with an approved course and a faculty lead ready to travel.

Track two

Build it with us

You have the interest but not yet the course. We co-develop one with your faculty and our academic team.

  • Joint design sessions with Ghanaian academics and community partners
  • We draft the site-to-outcome mapping; your faculty own the academic content
  • Support assembling the curriculum-committee packet
  • Typical lead time is three to four academic terms

Best for

Schools launching a first Ghana program or a new interdisciplinary offering.

In every program

What you get, whichever route you take

01

Site-to-outcome mapping

Every visit on the itinerary is tied to a stated learning outcome, so the academic case writes itself.

02

Verified contact hours

In-country instructional time is logged and documented in the format registrars accept.

03

Host and speaker access

Ghanaian academics, traditional authorities, and community organisations we already work with.

04

Full ground operation

Lodging, transport, meals, site fees and a dedicated in-country team for the duration.

05

Recruitment support

Information-session materials, parent packets and payment plans to help you fill the cohort.

06

Line-item budgets

Costs itemised before pricing is set, so your office can see exactly what a student is paying for.

Before you commit a cohort

The Groundwork

Our faculty familiarization trip. You travel the draft itinerary yourself — meet the hosts, walk the sites, eat the food, ride the roads — a full term before a single student enrols.

It is the fastest way to turn a plausible program into a good one, and the reason our partners arrive at their curriculum committee able to answer every question in the room.

Bring us your syllabus

Send the course outline and the term you have in mind. We will come back with a site-to-outcome map and an honest read on whether it works.
