NGO Referral
Thank you so much for considering making a referral of one of your staff or members to a WCIU degree program.
The director or other leader of your organization will need to make the referral.
Step 1. Learn from your member about the program for which he or she is considering.
Your member should have a wealth of information and several internet links to the curriculum and program details.
Step 2. Email your referral statement.
For the M.A. program: email admissions@wciu.edu.
For Ph.D. applicants, email phd@wciu.edu
The email should include:
A. That you certify that ______________ is a member (or candidate or potential recruit) of our organization, with experience in ______________ (a country or area of service, or in a particular type of activity related to intercultural service).
B. That you have an understanding of WCIU and the program the student applicant is considering.
C. That it is in the interest of your organization that the student pursue this program of study.
*D. That you have discussed Counting the Cost of the decision to commit to the degree program. (*Applies only to M.A. Applicants)
We recognize that your relationship with the applicant may or may not be that of a supervisor. If, however, the applicant is under the supervision of your organization, it may be that he or she would need to be released from some of his or her normal duties in order to study. We have found in our experience that it is sometimes an unrealistic expectation to think that the student will be able to complete his studies in his own, personal time. Therefore, whether or not you are directly involved in the applicant's work aside from his or her studies, we want to make sure that you have discussed this question as part of your endorsement of the applicant studying at WCIU.
Please read We Want You to Succeed to help guide the applicant in a discussion of considering the details that are important in making this final decision, and include the outcome of that discussion with your referral.
