Develop a Program
Welcome Global Certificate Program Leaders!
Thank you for your interest in collaborating with the UNM Global Education Office (UNM GEO) to propose a global certificate program at The University of New Mexico. UNM GEO is committed to building international capacity for academic units, faculty, and global partners through a variety of support services and through its global certificate programs.
This is a recruitment-based, brand building global certificate program offered by UNM GEO. Under this model the participants are not registering for courses, generating credit hours, or receiving UNM transcripts. If students need academic credit for their participation, we recommend this be granted by their home institution.
Overview
Global certificate programs focus on the enhancement of specific academic, research, or career development skills and are offered at different times throughout the year. Programs can be custom designed for institutions and collaborators or participants may enroll in open enrollment programs as they are available.
Capacity Per Program
Minimum enrollment: 15 participants
Maximum enrollment: 30 participants
Language Requirements
Typically provided in English unless otherwise specified. The TOEFL score ranges between 400 and 520, depending on program requirements and design.
Program costs include:
(1) On-campus accommodation and meals, (2) Medical Insurance, (3) Transportation in the city, (4) Access to the University of New Mexico’s facilities, (5) Curricular content, (6) Issuance of documents needed to obtain a student visa, (7) Professional visits and excursions, (8) Cultural excursions, and (9) Certificate of Completion.
Program cost is dependent upon the design of the program, but can range from $1,750 USD for a 2-week program to approximately $3,500 USD for a 4-week program per participant.
Program Preferred Months: October, November, February, April, June, July
Program Proposals
Global Partners:
Please complete this questionnaire. The completed questionnaire will allow the Global Education Office to develop a budget, timeline, and shared understanding on desired program content.
UNM Faculty/Instructors:
Please designate a faculty or instructor to serve as the program content lead for your Global Certificate Program. Lead faculty or instructors support the program under this collaboration by providing: curriculum development, booking and/or coordinating classroom/lab facilities, and staying within the established budget for expenses related to delivering program content. Expenses include payments for additional contributing faculty, instructors, program content providers, course materials, equipment, transportation, copies, and lab/facility fees, or others. All of these expenses should be accounted for during this pre-program process. Lead faculty or instructors should alert UNM GEO as soon possible to any potential issues that may impact the budget.
During the program, faculty and instructors should contact UNM GEO promptly if there are any concerns about participants, especially related to student code of conduct and academic integrity requirements.
