FACULTY GUIDELINES

Credentialing Parameters for Particular Disciplines

Degrees and course work must be obtained from institutions that are "regionally accredited" through the (1) Middle States, (2) New England, (3) North Central, (4) Northwest, (5) Southern or (6) Western associations or commissions.  Any deviation from this practice must be approved by the President of the College or his designee in conjunction with the Vice President, Human Resources and Diversity or appropriate credentialing authority.   International credentials must be assessed as equivalent academic preparation by an approved evaluation service.

Course work submitted by the faculty applicant as graduate credit must be clearly designated by the granting institution as part of a graduate program, or formally validated by the granting institution as graduate level study.  Official documentation must be provided by the granting institution.

or 
a related baccalaureate degree in business, business education, natural sciences, natural sciences education, computer science, computer science education, engineering, or other approved field (with substantial mathematics course work through at least calculus) and demonstrated competencies in the teaching discipline

*Advisory Notes:  If using alternate labels for graduate or undergraduate programs (e.g., operations research, mathematical science, etc.) must document that the graduate or undergraduate study is in mathematics.

** It is important to be sure that "related" disciplines for undergraduate degrees are indeed appropriate.  For any marginal cases, catalog course descriptions and/or documentation from the granting institution should clarify that the content in the major is appropriate for the teaching assignment.
