ACMCU

In addition to its full time faculty and fellows, ACMCU has had visiting professors and scholars from many countries, among them: Bangladesh, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Tajikistan, Belarus, Iran, Britain, Egypt, and America. At this time, ACMCU is unable to offer financial assistance to researchers. As such, those planning on applying should be certain that they will have sufficient financial resources during their time with the Center.
