Course match

The faculty can choose their preferred faculty from international institutions to collaborate on their international virtual exchange project. The information about the international faculty and the course will need to be submitted to the GREAT program.

If the faculty need the GREAT program to match the course with international partner universities, the GREAT program will contact international partner universities to match the course.

For the faculty’s own matched course, the GREAT program will evaluate the application and send the decision back to the faculty.

For the GREAT program matched course, the information about the matched international faculty and course will be sent to MSU faculty for their review. Then the faculty will need to send their comments back to the GREAT program. The decision will be made based on the comments of both MSU faculty and international faculty, as well as the evaluation of the GREAT program.
