Teaching Abroad with USAC

Teaching abroad opportunities with USAC for Summer 2026

 We are excited to announce another round of our popular Visiting Professor (VP) program! We are expanding this program to 33 VP spots for Summer 2026.

Deadline to apply is April 4, 2025. Selected applicants will be notified by June 1.

USAC will award the selected VPs a flat, $6,000 stipend. This stipend is compensation for teaching and goes toward expenses (i.e. flight, housing, meals, etc.). VPs will make and pay for all their own travel and personal arrangements. USAC will assist with finding housing. International health insurance coverage via CISI at the same level as our students will be included and paid for by USAC.

There is a minimum requirement of at least five (5) students enrolled before the course (and thus the VP participation) will be confirmed. Faculty selected as VP are required to actively assist in student recruitment on U.S. campuses and beyond. USAC will provide recruitment materials and a workshop on best practices for reaching enrollment. USAC will announce the VP and course availability via regular USAC communication channels. However, it is incumbent upon VPs to work actively with their campus study abroad office to reach this goal.

Courses sought for summer 2026

We expect the application pool to be quite large, so the process will be highly selective. Session dates can be viewed on the USAC website. Select your program of interest, then calendar.
