We prepare students for a lifelong passion for learning on our 273‑acre campus which is home to nine associate degrees and a wide variety of professional and technical certificates. Many of these credentials prepare students to seamlessly articulate into the baccalaureate programs of our higher education partner institutions.

Faculty duties include classroom instruction, assessment, curriculum development, advising students, professional inquiry, committee work and engaging with instructional technology.
Teaching assignments may include various delivery modes, such as face‑to‑face, online, hybrid and/or blended formats during days, evenings and weekends. Faculty positions may not be fully remote.

A master's degree in the discipline or a related discipline to be taught; or, a master's degree plus 18 graduate hours in the discipline to be taught. Additionally, faculty should have evidence of graduate‑level coursework (or significant professional experience) relating directly to the content being taught in the specific course or subfield.
