Topics include sustainable behavior change, mental health/stress management, health and fitness, immunity, nutrition, and chronic disease prevention. In the Science of Physical Activity and Health (APPH 1050), students learn the importance of health and fitness, nutrition, stress management and chronic disease prevention through both lecture and a weekly physical activity focused on training to improve fitness. Flourishing: Strategies for Well-being and Resilience (APPH 1060) helps students improve their health/well-being and flourish by using conceptual pillars such as coping, resiliency, optimism, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence. Salary and rank will be commensurate with experience and qualifications. This position is a renewable, 12-month, non-tenure-track appointment.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include:
- Lecture preparation and instruction for wellness courses

Lecturers teach the equivalent of 24 credits per year (Summer, Fall, Spring). When applicable, one course per academic year may be converted from teaching to administrative credit for work in support of the wellness requirement, including course coordination, program oversight, or curriculum development.
Required Qualifications
Candidates must hold an accredited master's or doctoral degree (Ph.D.) in a relevant field.
Required Documents to Attach
A complete application includes:
- A letter of application
- Statement of teaching philosophy

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Curriculum Specialist
Verify your degree field matches the role
USCIS scrutinizes whether your degree is in a directly related field. A degree in instructional design or education aligns cleanly. A general humanities degree may trigger an RFE, so gather transcripts and a credential evaluation before applying.
Target edtech and corporate training employers
K-12 districts and universities sponsor H-1B but face budget cycles that slow hiring. Edtech companies and large corporations with internal learning and development teams file more consistently and can move faster through the offer and LCA process.
Search LCA filing history on Migrate Mate
Filter by job title and industry on Migrate Mate to find employers with verified DOL LCA filings for Curriculum Specialist roles. This shows which employers have actually sponsored the position, not just listed it.
Confirm the prevailing wage tier before negotiating
Look up the wage level for your occupation code and work location using the OFLC Wage Search. Your offered salary must meet the DOL prevailing wage for the LCA to certify, and Level I wages often apply to entry-level curriculum roles.
Ask about LCA filing timelines during the offer stage
The LCA must be certified by DOL before your employer can file the I-129 petition with USCIS. Ask hiring managers whether they use an immigration attorney and how long their LCA process typically takes to avoid delays near the October 1 cap-subject start date.
Document specialized instructional design experience clearly
Employers writing your H-1B support letter must show the role requires a specific degree. Frame your resume around competencies tied to a defined field, such as learning theory, curriculum frameworks, or standards alignment, rather than general teaching or coordination duties.
H-1B Visa Curriculum Specialist: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Curriculum Specialist role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, provided the employer requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as education, instructional design, or curriculum and instruction. USCIS evaluates whether the degree requirement is specific and consistently applied. Roles where any bachelor's degree qualifies, regardless of field, face higher denial risk.
Which industries sponsor H-1B visas most consistently for Curriculum Specialists?
Edtech companies, large corporations with learning and development departments, healthcare systems with training divisions, and accredited universities file LCAs for this role with reasonable regularity. K-12 public school districts sponsor less frequently due to budget constraints and procurement rules, though some larger districts and charter networks do file. Use Migrate Mate to browse employers with verified H-1B filing history for this job title.
Can my employer use premium processing for a Curriculum Specialist H-1B petition?
Yes. Premium processing is available for cap-subject H-1B petitions, including Curriculum Specialist roles. Your employer pays the premium processing fee to USCIS to receive a decision within 15 business days. This is particularly useful if your start date is close to October 1 or if you're changing employers and need continuity of status.
What happens if my degree field doesn't directly match curriculum development?
USCIS may issue a Request for Evidence asking the employer to justify how your degree relates to the role's duties. A credential evaluation from a NACES-recognized agency can help frame equivalency. In some cases, employers include expert opinion letters that connect your specific coursework to the curriculum functions required by the position.
How do I find out if a Curriculum Specialist employer has filed H-1B petitions before?
DOL publishes LCA disclosure data, which shows every employer that has certified a Labor Condition Application by job title and location. You can search this through Migrate Mate, which surfaces verified H-1B filing history by role so you can prioritize employers who have already sponsored Curriculum Specialist positions rather than pitching the idea cold.
