What are the criteria for teaching credit courses?
DCCCD’s criteria, in accordance with Southern Association of Colleges and Schools guidelines (2004), are:
- For credit courses designed to transfer to the baccalaureate degree:
a doctorate or master’s degree in their teaching discipline (a minimum of 18 graduate semester hours in the subject to be taught), in accordance with Southern Association of Colleges and Schools guidelines
- For associate degree courses not designed for transfer:
a bachelor’s degree in the teaching discipline, or an associate degree and demonstrated competencies in the teaching discipline |
No prior teaching experience is required for our Visiting Scholars and adjunct instructor programs; these programs provide an excellent opportunity to gain the teaching experience required by SACS to teach credit courses as a full-time, permanent instructor at DCCCD.
What are the criteria for administrative, professional support staff and noncredit teaching positions?
Positions require varied levels of education and experience. Please see our current job openings for examples.
I’m interested in teaching continuing education classes at DCCCD. How do I get started?
Each DCCCD college hires continuing education instructors independently and has a slightly different process for doing so. Please visit each college’s page below for more information about the process used at that college:
Does DCCCD perform criminal background checks on applicants?
Yes, depending on the nature of the position. All employees and potential employees who have contact with minors (children under 18 years of age) as a regular part of their position, as well as those with cash handling responsibilities or who handle/access credit/debit card information, are subject to a criminal background check.
