The Study of the U.S. Institutes (SUSI) for Scholars are intensive post-graduate level academic programs whose purpose is to provide foreign university faculty and other scholars the opportunity to deepen their understanding of U.S. society, culture, values, and institutions. The ultimate goal of the Institutes is to strengthen curricula and to enhance the quality of teaching about the United States at academic institutions abroad.
Each Institute includes a four-week academic residency component and up to two weeks of an integrated study tour to another region of the United States. http://exchanges.state.gov/susi .
