Visiting Scholars |

|
As part of its international outreach, CIBE facilitates the appointment of Visiting Scholars at the Ross School of Business. Visiting Scholars enrich the University environment and contribute to greater diversity and the exchange of ideas. Collaborations with business faculty often lead to innovative research projects, team teaching and development of innovative teaching materials. Visiting Scholar status requires sponsorship by a member of the Ross School faculty. The Visiting Scholar program is designed for individuals who wish to study and conduct research at the University of Michigan without earning academic credit. Visiting Scholars may audit classes (without earning academic credit) with the permission of the instructor and utilize library resources. |
Scholars will have access to the University's computer system, but because of a space shortage, the Ross School is unable to provide Visiting Scholars with offices. Visiting Scholar status is a courtesy appointment and a privilege, but does not provide any financial support. Appointments are initially granted for up to one year and may be renewed with sponsor permission. Visiting Scholars come from many different countries, including China, Bangladesh, the Netherlands, and Italy.
CIBE assists Michigan business faculty who wish to sponsor Visiting Scholars by overseeing the administrative process, including visa applications. |
CIBE also helps Scholars find housing in Ann Arbor, gain familiarity with the Michigan campus and its resources, and maximize their opportunities for collaboration, knowledge sharing and interaction with other faculty and students. If you are a member of the Ross School faculty who is interested in bringing a foreign-national scholar to the United States, contact CIBE to express your interest. CIBE will process the required paperwork and answer any questions regarding insurance coverage, transportation, medical care, etc. For more information, Contact CIBE or look at our help page. |
