Call to Faculty Applicants: USAC Visiting Professor Program for Summer 2027 DUE APRIL 1, 2026

Announced on: Friday, Mar. 27, 2026

We are happy to send out this call to fill 28 Visiting Professor spots for Summer 2027. The deadline to apply is April 1, 2026. Selected applicants will be notified by June 15, 2026.

Professors from University Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC) Affiliate Universities have the unique opportunity to support the USAC mission and internationalize their perspectives and home universities by teaching abroad as a Visiting Professor (VP). The mission of USAC is to inspire international learning and to develop global citizenship through affordable and culturally authentic academic experiences. USAC's goals are to administer high-quality study abroad programs for undergraduate students while also internationalizing Affiliate Universities and Partner Universities abroad through collaboration and exchanges of students and faculty. Through this unique international teaching opportunity, Visiting Professors benefit by immersing personally and professionally in another culture while enhancing their skills in teaching, foreign language learning, intercultural communication, and creative problem-solving. VPs acquire international knowledge and experience, which adds value to their teaching and research back on their own campuses. USAC courses abroad include undergraduate U.S. students but may also include international students (from the local host university or elsewhere). English levels may vary.

Applicants are required to submit a document expressing approval from both their department chair/dean AND the education abroad office at the institution (whether you or someone else). You will be copied on acknowledgement emails and are encouraged to share any feedback you have with USAC. You will also be consulted before any offers are made to selected applicants.

NOTE: A major consideration will be the degree to which faculty can/will recruit students for the program and demonstration of prior success in recruiting students for similar opportunities.

Additionally, USAC will be offering a webinar that faculty can attend that will go over the program and application. Please find the link here to register. This will also be recorded.
