HOW DO I BRING MY STUDENTS?
An interested university approaches us with an idea for a class they want to do, or show that they want to bring. We work with whoever you need us to at your university to make the arrangements (usually it is your department, and the study abroad office at your university).
Fringe University can help you with your syllabus (if needed), and can arrange housing, classrooms, field trips and other logistics. The instructor and Fringe University will collaborate to find the best festival experiences (field trips, shows, guest speakers, etc.) to best teach the material.
