Our Adjunct Faculty
One of the primary strengths of the School of Professional and Continuing Studies is its adjunct faculty base. We seek and value scholar practitioners — advanced professionals working in their fields of expertise who share that expertise in the classroom as teachers. The majority of our adjunct faculty members have terminal degrees in their teaching disciplines. Our adjuncts provide students with first-hand knowledge of the latest theories as put to use in modern workplace.
