POLICY 4.8.3.2 - Criteria for Graduate Faculty Status


Except as provided below, graduate faculty status requires: (1) an earned terminal degree or earned professional terminal degree in the discipline in which instruction is to be offered, or in a related discipline with peer-reviewed scholarship or performance in the discipline, (2) on-going peer-reviewed scholarship or performance, and (3) any special requirements of a particular graduate program of education.

Individuals who do not meet the requirement of a terminal degree may be awarded graduate faculty status for exceptional scholarship or performance, recognized nationally or internationally in the discipline. This scholarship or performance is to be documented by the individual.

It is presumed that individuals who received the earned terminal degree in the discipline within the prior five years are qualified to offer instruction in graduate programs of education and to serve on dissertation committees.
