The Opportunity

During the summer, we offer over 280, non-credit courses, both on campus and online, in 3-week, 2-week, and 1-week durations. During the fall and spring terms, we offer a fully online Academic Year Weekend program, with classes running once a week on Saturday or Sundays, for a total of 10-weeks.

Our instructors are experts in their fields and have a passion and demonstrated aptitude for teaching.

The Curriculum

Instructors submit a syllabus before the program begins. Instructors may design the course based on their own expertise, as long as it continues to align with the course description.

To supplement lectures and classroom activities, instructors are permitted to schedule guest speakers, and for those teaching on-campus, arrange field trips to relevant locations nearby.

The Hiring Process

The hiring process for instructors requires one or more interviews, the submission of teaching evaluations, an online teaching demonstration, and other criteria. 

All instructors must complete a mandatory background check and Protection of Minors training, as mandated by University Policy.
