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

Language faculty must have a master’s degree in the language to be taught or a master’s degree in any field and 18 graduate credits and/or experience credits in the language to be taught.  Faculty teaching a Less Commonly Taught Language (LCTL = any language other than English, French, German, or Spanish) may be qualified to teach without a master’s degree. LCTL faculty who do not possess a master’s degree must still have 18 equivalent credits. Please see this rubric for details and contact the Languages Instructional Council for other experience/qualifications that may apply.
