PSU in Paraguay Faculty
Since 2005, PSU has had a unique opportunity to offer undergraduate coursework on the campus of the Comité Paraguay Kansas (CPK) in Asuncion, Paraguay. These general education courses are taught in English and cover a variety of disciplines.
The Program Structure
PSU offers 9 class sessions every year between March and November and each class session is three hours a day for three weeks. Classes are held in English and Paraguayan students are able to have an American classroom experience and receive PSU college credit. Classes cover a wide variety of disciplines with the intent of students continuing their studies at PSU or another university in Kansas.
Instructors receive compensation for teaching the class, airfare, housing, international health insurance, and a per diem for food. Lodging is arranged by the Comite Paraguay Kansas (CPK) and is in the same building as the classroom. Since classes are held in the afternoon, faculty are encouraged to take family and use the other time to enjoy the culture of Asunción Paraguay.
Teaching in Paraguay
To teach with PSU in Paraguay, professors and adjunct professors must hold at least a master’s degree in their specific or related field and be either native English speakers or have earned a satisfactory TOEFL score. Current PSU professors and instructors will be given preference, but all qualified instructors are welcome to apply.
Only 9 sessions are available each year and class sessions will be filled on a rolling basis. If positions are no longer available for the current year, interest forms will be kept for future sessions.
Interested? Please complete the interest form and the Director of the PSU in Paraguay Program will be in touch.

Faculty Testimonials
"I love teaching in Paraguay because you can experience three centuries at the same time: The past, present, and future exist there in harmony. They value their past, they live wonderfully in the present, and they have a beautiful future. The students love their country, love each other, and love the state of Kansas." - Dr. Bobby Winters
