Classroom and Teaching Support

BCLA offers grants and funding to enhance your classroom and teaching experience. Whether you’re looking to integrate real-world experiences with classroom studies, improve classroom learning through interactive and engaging components, or develop or redesign a semester-long course that includes a global immersion trip, you can find info and apply for resources to turn your ideas into impactful educational experiences for our students.

Advisor Resources

Through the collaboration of shared governance, in fall 2016 BCLA shifted academic advising models from a faculty-only to a shared-system model. Under this shared system of advising, students have a designated faculty advisor/mentor assigned according to a student’s major, as well as access to a professional advisor based in the BCLA Advising Center. In the shared system, the goal of the faculty advisor is to provide students with a mentor in their chosen major, who acts as a readily available and knowledgeable resource for students to speak with about their course of study.
