How much detail is required in a competitive proposal?
The most competitive proposals for the joint or dual degree will be those that are ready to send and receive students in the first year. A proposal for the delivery of a joint or dual degree must include an integrated study program, integrated admission standards, credit agreements, accreditation approval for the degree, a language plan, and an evaluation plan. Most of this should be completed at the time of the submission but all of it must be guaranteed before any student mobility occurs. Consortia must have signed agreements prior to the exchange of students. Because of the complexities of these consortial agreements, formal agreements among the partners help project directors manage their way around a number of potential administrative obstacles.
