Position Summary

International Studies and Programs (ISP) at Michigan State University is seeking to fill an Education Abroad Coordinator position in the Office for Education Abroad (EA). MSU has a high-volume, high-profile education abroad operation. The Office for Education Abroad currently has 15 professional international educators who collectively support nearly 3,000 MSU education abroad participants each year. The coordinator will join an energetic team charged with managing the MSU education abroad programs portfolio, consisting of the associate director and six program coordinators.

The education abroad coordinator assumes primary responsibility for administering education abroad programs offered through one or more of MSU’s colleges and other academic units. The education abroad coordinator is responsible for education abroad advising for majors from assigned colleges by becoming familiar with the education abroad programs offered in assigned colleges and the colleges’ curricula and degree requirements. The education abroad coordinator will also provide support to the American Semester Program, which brings in non-degree-seeking international students for short-term study at MSU (semester, short summer courses).

Specifically, the Education Abroad Coordinator, under the direction of the associate director,

  • serves in a liaison capacity to one or more MSU academic colleges (Broad College of Business, James Madison College, etc.), campus administrative units (e.g., Resource Center for Persons with Disability etc.), International Studies and Programs units (e.g., Latin American and Caribbean Studies Center etc.), and affiliated provider organizations (e.g., ACCENT, CAPA etc.)
  • develops and manages education abroad programs
  • provides comprehensive student advising and support
  • provides leadership and coordination of one or more critical focus areas/functions within EA (e.g., orientation throughout the student experience)

    • The position will also be encouraged to contribute to the profession of education abroad, which may include attending regional, national and international conferences, and planning and implementing faculty and staff site visits. The position will be similarly encouraged to contribute to the field of education abroad, which may include producing scholarly publications, conducting outcomes assessment research, etc.

    Desired Qualifications

    Master’s degree in one of the fields noted above; experience living, working or studying abroad; demonstrated excellent written and oral communication skills; and proficiency in a language other than English.
