Educational Resources
Fulbright Programs
The Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES), under a cooperative agreement with the United States Department of State, administers the Fulbright Scholar Program for faculty and professionals. Each year, the traditional Fulbright Scholar Program sends some 800 U.S. faculty and professionals to 140 countries to lecture, do research or participate in seminars, and some 800 foreign faculty come to the U.S.
International Faculty Development Seminars
CIEE faculty seminars are more than guided tours. They are intensive educational experiences designed to explore fascinations, challenge preconceptions and open eyes to global issues shaping the world today. Each program features lectures, site visits, and discussions with overseas academics and colleagues.
