International Programs
Faculty
There are many international opportunities for SOU faculty!
Teaching Abroad at NCSA Sites:
If you are interested in teaching abroad, SOU belongs to a consortium called the Northwest Council for Study Abroad (NCSA). NCSA partners with AHA, a study abroad program provider, to offer study abroad programs that often hire faculty from the Northwest to teach on site. Potential teaching sites include:
- Rosario, Argentina
- Vienna, Austria
- Valdivia, Chile
- London, England
- Angers, France
- Athens, Greece
- Macerata, Italy
- Siena, Italy
- Morela, Mexico
- Oviedo, Spain
- Segovia, Spain
Not all sites hire Northwest faculty each term or year, so read the application materials closely.
2009-2010 NCSA Teaching Information and Application
Deadline for application is Wednesday, September 3, 2008!

Fulbright Opportunities
SOU faculty members are encouraged to apply for the Fulbright Scholar Program. Fulbright grants vary by country and may involve research and/or teaching.

She is a Fulbright Alumna, having spent time in Iceland. If you'd like to get advice from former SOU Fulbrighters, please contact the Erika Leppmann or the Office of International Programs and we'll help get you connected.
