Program Description
The Community College Administrator Program (CCAP) with Egypt is a five-week program of study for Egyptian officials with higher education planning responsibilities and administrators from post-secondary vocational and technical institutions in Egypt. Conducted by the Florida State University and Santa Fe College, the exchange consists of a one-week Executive Dialogue, a four-week Community College Seminar, and additional follow-on programming in Egypt approximately 6-12 months after the completion of the program in Florida.
