Visiting Faculty

To provide quality education while still keeping the classroom small and interactive, KIU enlists the aid of visiting faculty for specialty classes. Typically there are six to seven visiting faculty visiting every year. Some hold PhD's while others are specialists in their field from Japan, Canada, and the US.

Teaching positions are available for very short term intensive assignments (around two weeks) to longer term. Positions are available to qualifying personnel. Please contact us for further information.
