Developing good exchange opportunities for your students can
be time-consuming and complex. It takes a special commitment of human and financial resources to ensure smooth
navigation of unfamiliar waters. And that is only the beginning, especially in the Asia-Pacific where on-going contact
and face to face encounters are key elements of the culture of relationships.
If you are looking for a cost-effective means of making it possible for your students to participate in quality
exchanges with this important region of the world, look no further. UMAP requires no extraordinary expenditure
of funds. In fact, the membership fee is far less than the cost of travel for one university staff member to visit
just one regional institution. Such a trip is unlikely to result in an agreement and even less likely to ensure
on-going quality. U.S. UMAP sees to such matters on behalf of its members -- to ensure participant satisfaction
and continual program improvement.
Please take a moment to look at the following information. By navigating these pages, you will see just how accessible
the world of study in the Asia-Pacific can be.
