The ARAMFO Foundation works to facilitate short-term faculty-led travel courses around the world to promote multiculturalism and academia.

Faculty are free to choose the dates for their travel courses and the airport they will fly from with their students.

ARAMFO Foundation does not create the syllabi on behalf of professors, but rather, helps them to customize their trip in a way that matches their disciplines and curricula. Professors might choose to offer the trip as a travel course for 3 to 6 credit hours through their department for regular tuition, or offer the trip as part of exploring a new culture for no credit.

ARAMFO arranges all of the logistics for the trip including: airfare from the preferred airport, hotels/housing, meals, tour guides, entrance fees, transportation in the host country, as well as any academic activities and visits in the host country.

Offering faculty-led travel courses at the university requires that professors need to approve their travel course with their department and Study Abroad Office at their university in order to ensure students receive the credit from their home university and professors to receive payment for teaching the course.   

Steps professors need in order to offer faculty-led travel courses at their university 

Step 1: Approve the travel course with the Chair of their department.
Step 2: Approve the travel course with the Study Abroad Office at the university.
Step 3: Recruit students for the travel course
