While the focus of the university is on teaching, we expect the successful

scholarship in the discipline, advise, and serve the academic community.
Possible opportunities to lead summer immersion trips are available.

CMU is a state-funded institution that emphasizes quality teaching. With 23%

 - Experience with leading study abroad programs.

underrepresented students within higher education.

CMU is committed to providing a safe and productive learning and living
