Administration and Staff

United States University faculty reflects the cultural and ethnic diversity of the University student population. Latinos comprise 68 percent of US University full time and part time faculty. The remaining faculty are comprised of 30 percent white/non-Hispanic and 2 percent non-Latino African American. Nearly all the faculty are bilingual with extensive experience teaching ethnically diverse students.

US University staff members possess bilingual oral and written communication skills. They are professionals who have experience working with culturally and linguistically diverse students.We are proud of our faculty and staff, together they create a student-centered and effective learning environment that attracts adult learners from a variety of backgrounds, particularly those who have limited access to higher education.

With current world trends of north/south migration and globalized economies, United States University provides a high quality learning model with highly qualified and dedicated faculty and staff, focusing on student support and success as the answer to the needs of learners interested in acquiring the skills and knowledge to improve their lives and potential employability in a multicultural and multilingual society.
