Achievements

Don Faust (Mathematics and Computer Science) was selected to serve as the visiting faculty member for the Midwest Consortium for Study Abroad (MSCA) program in Vienna, Austria, for the winter 2006 semester. Chet DeFonso (History) was selected as the alternate candidate for the fall 2005 or winter 2006 semester in Vienna. MCSA is one of three study abroad consortia in which NMU participates. It is composed of 10 member schools in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.

According to the International Affairs Office, MCSA programs are experiential, offering travel and field excursions as part of the regular study abroad curriculum. An American faculty member is present at each site and courses are taught in English, with the exception of the host country language course. Some programs include a host family stay. Programs are offered by contract with AHA International, with sites in Vienna; Segovia, Spain; Macerata, Italy; and Queretaro, Mexico.
