About adjunct business professor jobs
Adjunct business professors are part-time faculty hired semester by semester to teach undergraduate or graduate business courses. Most institutions hire business 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 business teaching assignments
- Principles of Management
- Organizational Behavior
- Strategic Management
- Business Ethics
- Entrepreneurship
- International Business
Credentials and qualifications
The standard credential for adjunct business teaching is a MBA or master's in business administration (industry experience at the VP+ level is often accepted at professional schools). 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 business jobs
The most active employers of adjunct business 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.
