Propose a Course

With almost 7,000 students enrolled each year and a dedication to providing quality attention to students, the School of Extended Education is always looking for new instructors who have a passion for sharing their knowledge with others. The School of Extended Education Instructors are working professionals, noted specialists and experts in the fields they are teaching.

Benefits of Teaching for the School of Extended & International Education

  1. Our courses are offered in a variety of formats, so instructors can select the format that best suits their lives.  Classes are offered during the day, at night and on the weekends.
  2. Many of our instructors are experienced teachers who find they benefit and learn from their classes almost as much as they contribute to the students' learning.
