Part-time faculty are responsible for instructing students during the course hours, evaluating student work completed in the course, and holding office hours on a regular basis.

To be eligible for consideration, a candidate should possess a master's degree in a field of specialization appropriate to the area of assignment and be able to demonstrate an ability to teach in a remote/online environment.

Candidates should submit a portfolio including the following:
