Faculty and Staff Resources

University of San Diego faculty are supported in and encouraged to engage in a variety of international opportunities. There are a number of ways that USD faculty connect with the internationalization efforts on and off-campus.

Faculty who wish to further their research abroad are invited to apply for an International Opportunity Grant which is funded by the Provost's Office and managed by the International Center. Grants are awarded to faculty who are presenting at an international conference or conducting internationally-based research.

All USD faculty, staff and students who are traveling abroad on either independent university business, or crossing the border into Mexico for academic or service are required to register their trip details. This registration is important as it will help USD be able to reach you in the event of an emergency.
