UC Merced-UNAM hybrid courses (COIL with an in-person component)
UC Merced and UNAM committed to increasing student mobility opportunities between their institutions. The new UC-UNAM call for the joint development of hybrid courses seeks to facilitate collaboration between the faculty of each campus in the creation of courses that will lead to increased mobility opportunities for students on both sides of the border. Faculty have already submitted course proposals in areas as diverse as soil sciences, social movements and ethnic studies. UC Alianza MX will provide guidance and support to UC faculty who wish to participate in the development of joint online/hybrid courses.
