Faculty Expertise

The faculty serving on Instructional Councils are best positioned to provide consistent, expert evaluation of faculty coursework and credentials so as to determine relevance within a specific teaching field. Therefore, Human Resources, Department/Division Chairs, Deans, VPAAs, and other stakeholders must coordinate with the relevant Instructional Councils to determine if the established minimum qualifications are met by candidates for Faculty (Residential, Adjunct, or Dual Enrollment) positions.

Academic

For academic disciplines, a graduate degree is required. A faculty may qualify with any of the following:

  • Master’s degree or higher in the teaching field OR
  • Master’s degree or higher in any field with 18 graduate credit hours in the teaching field
