Mission Statement:

The Council for International Education (CIE) serves as the Western Illinois University Faculty Senate’s representative body to assist undergraduate students, faculty, and administration in attaining a credible international education environment that fosters the understanding, knowledge, and skills necessary for life within a globally interdependent and culturally diverse world.

Approval Procedures (New or Revised International Education Undergraduate Courses and Curricula):

  • This Council is an intermediate step in the university approval process for new or revised international education undergraduate courses, or curricula. As such, the Council considers only such matters that pertain to international education.
  • This Council does not circumvent the Council on Curricular Programs and Instruction (CCPI) requirements or the Council on General Education (CGE).

Any party requesting international education status for new or revised undergraduate courses or curricula must submit their documents to this Council. This Council will examine the documents ONLY to determine if the requirements for international education are met.

For approval, the Council must be provided with 12 copies (uncollated if more than one document is submitted per request) of all course or curricula originations or modifications. The documents will be placed before the Council for review by sending the copies to the Faculty Senate Office, Stipes Hall 323. A simple majority of voting members present at the meeting will determine whether or not a document is to be recommended for approval or rejected.

Membership:

CIE consists of twelve members, including nine faculty members from either campus (two from each college and one from the Library) appointed by the Faculty Senate, two students (one study abroad student and one international student), and the Executive Director from the School of Global Education and Outreach, or the Executive Director's designee, as a non-voting ex-officio member. Faculty appointments are for three years. Preference will be given to faculty and students with international education experience.
