Curriculum

Development

It is costly to create and improve curriculum. InspirED™ offers numerous curriculum development templates based on commonly accepted accreditation standards.

 

Internationalization

Internationalization requires a multi-faceted approach. AHEA’s global network encourages and supports faculty collaboration, joint curriculum development, and institutional partnerships. As a result, your faculty and students will benefit from the infusion of international and intercultural dimension into your institution’s academic programs.

Student
