About online and remote adjunct professor jobs
Online and remote adjunct professor jobs are the fastest-growing segment of higher education hiring. Universities and colleges that used to rely on in-person adjuncts are now hiring instructors who never set foot on campus — delivering courses through Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, and live Zoom sessions. For instructors, it means teaching from home, flexible schedules, and the ability to stack courses across multiple institutions.
On this page we list online and remote adjunct teaching jobs across the U.S. — including online adjunct professor positions, work-from-home adjunct instructor roles, virtual faculty appointments, and online college teaching jobs at community colleges, public universities, private universities, and the major online-first institutions (SNHU, UMGC, Liberty, Grand Canyon, Walden, Capella, and more). Every listing is fully remote — no campus visits required. Listings are refreshed daily.
Who hires online adjunct faculty?
- Online-first universities — SNHU, UMGC, Western Governors, Liberty, Grand Canyon, Walden, Capella, Purdue Global, Arizona State Online, Penn State World Campus
- Continuing education divisions at brand-name universities — Harvard Extension School, Johns Hopkins AAP, NYU SPS, UC Berkeley Extension
- Community colleges hiring for asynchronous sections of their gen-ed catalog
- For-profit programs with rolling enrollment and term-by-term hiring

Frequently asked questions
- What is an online adjunct professor?
- An online adjunct professor is a part-time faculty member hired by a university or college to teach courses delivered fully online — usually through a learning management system like Canvas, Blackboard, or Moodle. Most online adjuncts work from home and combine asynchronous lectures (recorded video, discussion boards, written assignments) with occasional live Zoom sessions.
- Are online adjunct jobs the same as remote adjunct jobs?
- Functionally, almost always yes. "Remote adjunct" emphasizes that the instructor works from home; "online adjunct" emphasizes that the course is delivered online. Universities use the terms interchangeably, and every job on this page is fully work-from-home — no campus visits required.
- How much do online adjunct professors get paid?
- Pay varies widely by institution and discipline. Community colleges typically pay $2,000–$3,500 per course (3 credits), while four-year universities range from $3,000–$7,000+ per course. Online courses are usually paid at the same rate as in-person sections at the same institution. Some for-profit and large public online universities (SNHU, UMGC, Western Governors, Walden) pay per student or per term instead of per course.
- What qualifications do I need to teach online adjunct?
- Most online adjunct positions require a master's degree in the discipline you want to teach — 18+ graduate credit hours in the subject is the common accreditation standard. Doctoral-level positions and many four-year universities require a PhD or terminal degree. Industry experience can substitute for academic credentials at some professional schools (business, nursing, IT, criminal justice).
- Can I teach online adjunct from any state?
- Usually yes, but state-by-state regulations (SARA) sometimes restrict where an institution can hire from. A handful of states (notably California for some institutions) have additional requirements. Always confirm the residency requirements in the job posting before applying.
- How many courses can I teach as an online adjunct?
- Most institutions cap adjuncts at 1–3 courses per semester to keep them under the ACA-defined 30 hours/week threshold for benefits eligibility. Many online adjuncts teach simultaneously at 2–4 different institutions to stack income — a common path is sometimes called the "freeway flyer" model, except entirely online.
- Are online adjunct jobs hard to get?
- They are competitive at the brand-name universities (Harvard Extension, Johns Hopkins AAP, NYU SPS) but much more accessible at large online universities (SNHU, UMGC, Liberty, Grand Canyon, Walden) and community colleges. Building a profile by starting with a community college or one of the big online universities, then moving up, is the typical path.
