Faculty and staff opportunities

The University Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC) and the University of Nevada, Reno offer the following programs to faculty and professional staff members interested in helping to internationalize our campus. Don't forget that you can also help promote study abroad to your students by requesting a classroom or event presentation from a USAC staff member.

Visiting Professor Program (Teaching Abroad)

Academic faculty have the unique opportunity to support the internationalization of your departments and colleges by teaching abroad. Visiting Professors establish contacts with foreign colleagues, enhance their own foreign language acquisition, strengthen and support international education and study abroad on campus, diversify course curriculum, and develop international relationships for research and other purposes.
