Graduate Faculty (2005-2006) 

Based on excellence in teaching and scholarship, a faculty member holding the terminal degree in his/her discipline is eligible to teach graduate courses in his/her discipline, or a related discipline. Our graduate faculty demonstrate excellence both in teaching and scholarly productivity. Scholarly productivity may be demonstrated through publication of research and/or through applied scholarship. Chairs of departments offering graduate programs are responsible for determining an individual’s eligibility to teach graduate courses. In exceptional cases, outstanding professional experience and demonstrated contributions to the teaching discipline may be presented in lieu of formal academic preparation. Such cases must be justified on an individual basis, consistent with the Criteria for Accreditation of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
