Part-time Faculty

In addition to the full-time faculty, the School employs a number of part time teaching faculty members drawn from an accomplished group of Emeriti faculty, professional practitioners, community leaders and doctoral students. Part-time faculty enrich and enhance curriculum offerings by bringing their expertise from the field and from economic, social and political leadership forums. While some of the adjunct faculty members teach required courses, many help to augment the full-time faculty expertise in elective areas.
