Faculty opportunities available at the American College of Norway

International programs is now taking faculty applications to teach at the American College of Norway (ACN) in Fall 2011 or Spring 2012. Proposed courses must have general appeal to college students early in their academic career (especially 200 level courses) and essential studies courses are especially suited to ACN. Please call Ray Lagasse in the Office of International Programs for more information (777-4231).

Each semester, UND sponsors one or more faculty members at ACN to teach three courses at the sophomore level. Full salary, basic housing costs, and a travel stipend are paid by UND/ACN. It is expected that participating faculty will recruit UND or other American students to attend ACN along with them. Students pay regular UND tuition and the courses appear on the UND transcript.

International cultural experiences enrich the lives and learning experiences of both faculty and students. UND’s longstanding partnership with ACN, located in Moss, Norway, allows for international experiences in a largely English speaking country with a stable relationship with the USA. ACN offers a one-year American educational experience, through UND, to international students interested in transferring to an American university. It is also a great opportunity for American students to gain a semester or year-long study-abroad experience.
