About adjunct accounting professor jobs

Adjunct accounting professors are part-time faculty hired semester by semester to teach undergraduate or graduate accounting courses. Most institutions hire accounting adjuncts to cover high-enrollment introductory courses, asynchronous online sections, summer terms, and specialized electives that don't justify a full-time hire.

Common adjunct accounting teaching assignments

  • Financial Accounting
  • Managerial Accounting
  • Intermediate Accounting
  • Auditing
  • Taxation
  • Cost Accounting

Credentials and qualifications

The standard credential for adjunct accounting teaching is a CPA + master's in accounting (or PhD for tenure-track parallel positions; CPA + MBA is acceptable at many programs). Accreditation guidelines generally require at least 18 graduate credit hours in the discipline you're teaching — so a related field is often acceptable if you have enough discipline-specific coursework.

Where to find adjunct accounting jobs

The most active employers of adjunct accounting faculty are the large online-first universities (SNHU, UMGC, Liberty, Grand Canyon, Walden), community college systems, public university continuing education divisions, and four-year private universities. The listings above pull from all of these.

Frequently asked questions

What qualifications do I need to teach adjunct accounting?
Most adjunct accounting positions require a CPA + master's in accounting (or PhD for tenure-track parallel positions; CPA + MBA is acceptable at many programs). Community colleges and online universities have more flexibility on credentials; four-year universities and graduate programs are stricter.
How much do adjunct accounting professors earn per course?
Adjunct accounting pay typically falls in the $2,000–$7,000 per 3-credit course range. Community colleges and online-first universities (SNHU, UMGC, Liberty) sit at the lower end ($2,000–$3,500). Four-year university extension programs and graduate-level accounting courses pay $3,500–$7,000+.
What accounting courses do adjuncts typically teach?
The most common adjunct accounting teaching assignments are introductory and gen-ed courses with high enrollment: Financial Accounting, Managerial Accounting, Intermediate Accounting, Auditing, and similar undergraduate sections.
Can I teach adjunct accounting online or remote?
Yes — every major online university (SNHU, UMGC, Western Governors, Liberty, Grand Canyon, Walden) hires online accounting adjuncts, and most community colleges and four-year universities now offer asynchronous online sections in accounting. Filter the listings above by modality "Online" to see only remote-eligible roles.
How competitive are adjunct accounting positions?
Competition varies by institution tier. Brand-name universities and tenure-track-adjacent roles are very competitive; online-first universities, community colleges, and continuing education programs maintain large rolling adjunct pools and hire continuously.
