The formal curriculum is that which is taught in classes and is academic in nature, while the informal curriculum includes other areas of higher education, from student activities to athletics to residence life. Because all areas of a learning institution are designed with student �첥��Ƶ and growth in mind, all areas are able to internationalize.

You don’t have to have overseas students physically or virtually in your course for you to be able to include global content. Any course can include global content, not only the social sciences or humanities. Likewise, you don’t have to be a faculty member to include global content in your department or area.

If your office or department would like assistance with developing an internationalize aspect of the formal or informal curriculum, please contact the Global Initiatives Office at global@tompkinscortland.edu for more information.

Starting a COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) activity can be difficult – what do you do, and how do you start? Our experienced COIL coordinator, Angela Palumbo, is ready to help answer your questions about COIL and how to use it in your class.

Beginning in 2021, �첥��Ƶ Cortland Community College’s Global Initiatives office will facilitate training and partner pairing for interested TC3 faculty and any faculty from our partnership institutions that we have signed agreements with. This training will be provided for free as part of our Internationalization at Home initiative.

For more information about COIL and our virtual exchange training, please contact Angela Palumbo.

In addition to the individualized support that our office can provide you, here are links to outside resources that can give you ideas and direction regarding internationalization.
