These teaching roles are filled on an as-needed basis semester to semester.
Minimum qualifications include a PhD or extensive expertise in an applicable field. Compensation ranges from $1,000 - $11,000 per course, depending on the teaching assignment, instructor qualifications, and what semester the course is being taught.
