Faculty

We are a Global Community of Scholars

SU faculty come from around the world and work around the world. Our research and teaching address global concerns in practical ways through research, applied service and student learning activities.

Seattle University welcomes distinguished international faculty who join us from all over the world. Many of the same qualities that attract international students—small class sizes, personalized learning, a deep emphasis on service and reflection—attract international scholars to study and teach at our global campus.
