POLICY 4.8.2.2 - Criteria for Faculty


Full-time faculty teaching undergraduate courses must possess a master’s degree or its equivalent in an appropriate field. The equivalency of experience in lieu of a degree is considered only in rare instances and when conclusive evidence exists. Faculty members are expected to have experience related to the area of employment at Shenandoah and to be productive, creative scholars.

Eligibility for appointment to the graduate faculty is determined by the following criteria:

  • the terminal degree, normally in the area of instruction
  • successful teaching and work or performance experience in the area of expertise
  • evidence of superior scholarship as demonstrated by research, publication, or activity in professional organizations
