As a full-time faculty member in good
standing, you are eligible to apply for a teaching position in one of
the University Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC) month-long summer and/or
semester-long programs in Chile, China, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, England,
France, Germany, Ghana, Italy and Spain.
Selection Criteria
The following criteria give a sense of the type of faculty member and
course offerings USAC seeks for its programs abroad. We strongly encourage
faculty to work with the Boise State International Programs Office to
develop the course proposals appropriately tailored to each program site.
USAC Needs Professors who:
• teach courses in African studies, agriculture, anthropology, art
history, biology, business, culture, economics, education, environmental
science, history, humanities, linguistics, literature, political science,
psychology, social sciences or tourism.
• would ideally relate one of those courses specifically to the
teaching site, region or nation (that is, create an area studies course
that is clearly international in nature). Language of instruction may
be English or the relevant foreign language (Spanish, French, etc.).
• possess student evaluation summaries that reflect superior teaching
abilities.
• are flexible regarding international living and working conditions
and are willing to enthusiastically experience local culture with their
students.
• are willing to contribute to the host university in addition to
teaching the selected courses.
• are willing to publicize the opportunity to study abroad with
them.
