Open Positions

Brewton-Parker College continues its committment to both the academic and spiritual development of our students.

The Division of External Programs is accepting applications for adjunct faculty for the following external sites:

Baxley
Glennville
Hinesville
Mount Vernon (main campus)
Newnan
Norman Park
Savannah

The Division of External Programs delivers accessible education for traditionally aged and working adult students by providing various accelerated formats. Our need for adjunct faculty will vary from month to month; therefore, each applicant's application material will be evaluated based on our current faculty needs and his or her specific academic specialty and professional experiences.

Qualifications

Because of the critical role played by our faculty, high standards of expectation have been established for those who are selected and assigned. The criteria for faculty selection are as follows:

Mission Fit
Applicants should enjoy a vital personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and model and communicate the Christian experience to students as related to life and learning.

Academic Qualifications
Master's degree required (doctorate preferred) with a minimum of 18 graduate credit hours within the desired area of teaching.

Professional Experience
Applicants must have several years of practical professional experience in their content area to enhance the nontraditional adult learning experience. Faculty members will be asked to incorporate their theoretical knowledge base and professional experiences in the classroom.

Ability to Facilitate Adult Learning
Applicants must demonstrate appropriate teaching skills to reach adult professionals. The Division of External Programs aspires to bridge the gap between theory and practice through the use of practitioner-instructors employing a "facilitative" method of theoretical instruction.

Hiring Process

1. Apply
After reviewing the qualifications above, qualified applicants should submit an application. Applicants can complete the downloadable PDF application or contact Cathy Stephens to request an application packet. Be sure to include your full name, address, and daytime phone number.

2. Initial Interview
If your qualifications match our current faculty needs, you will be contacted by one of our External Programs site directors to arrange an initial interview. The interview is designed to evaluate a candidate's mission fit, academic specialty, professional qualifications, and understanding of nontraditional adult learning.

3. Interview with Department Chair or Dean of External Programs
Once an applicant is approved from the evaluation meeting, final hiring approval rests with the appropriate department chair and the Provost.

Orientation & Development

New Faculty Workshops
The College provides New Faculty Workshops to integrate new facilitators into the college system. During the day, faculty members become aware of the procedures, policies, and practices of being an adjunct instructor for BPC. Faculty members learn how to develop syllabi and many other valuable tools. Also on that day, the College's mission, vision, and core values are introduced. Procedures for developing devotionals, lesson plans, and basic teaching strategies are shared.

First Teaching Assignment
A member of the evaluation team will visit the new facilitator during his/her first or second class. This is an opportunity to support all of the good things that the new faculty member is doing and on occasion, to make the new facilitator aware of changes that might enhance their facilitation.
