Faculty Time Commitments:
A full-time faculty member with administrative responsibilities would not be expected to teach a full- time load, due to the additional administrative and program oversight responsibilities.
Such faculty may teach up to a total of 18 semester hours per academic year.
A full-time, non-administrative faculty member may teach up to a total of 36 semester hours per academic year.
A part-time faculty member must teach a minimum of one (1) semester hour per academic year and may teach up to a total of 24 semester hours per academic year.
The distribution of semester hours across individual semesters may vary based on program needs, faculty availability, and approval by the Program Administrator.
Maximum Teaching Workload
Faculty workload includes multiple activities including but not limited to: teaching, advising, simulation instruction, testing, updating lectures, course development, curriculum design, committee membership, service to community, practice, and scholarly activities.
Each year the faculty meets with the Program Administrator to determine their teaching workload and other activities for the year. This annual review ensures that teaching assignments are balanced with other professional responsibilities and program goals, while allowing flexibility in semester-by-semester distribution.
