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 credentiling 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.
