About US

ITAC OVERVIEW

The ITAC was established in 2000 to serve a consortium of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) with little or no international activity establish study abroad programs in the Dominican Republic. At the end of that year the ITAC received a grant from the GTE Foundation to expand the HBCU Study Abroad Consortium and develop relationships between U.S. businesses and minority colleges to enable the study abroad component of ITAC to become financially self-sustaining.

Specifically, GTE was interested in their funding being utilized to support the development of the ITAC’s international internship program providing minority students in business and engineering with the opportunity to work and study abroad. Between 1994 and 2000, students from 25 HBCUs had studied in the Dominican Republic in programs managed by the International Education Resource Center.

The ITAC has assisted HBCUs in internationalizing their curriculum by providing advice and technical assistance to faculty at HBCUs in many different departments to establish internships and special studies projects for undergraduates to earn credit in their major while gaining valuable experience which can lead toward future employment.

The ITAC has not solely focused its attention on HBCUs, as we’ve worked with numerous American Universities and large consortiums such as SUNY, CUNY and CCIS. The organization as a whole is very proud of its latest affiliation with the Phelps Stokes Fund in Washington D.C., as we expect many great things out of this new partnership.
