About adjunct computer science professor jobs
Adjunct computer science professors are part-time faculty hired semester by semester to teach undergraduate or graduate computer science courses. Most institutions hire computer science 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 computer science teaching assignments
- Introduction to Programming
- Data Structures and Algorithms
- Database Systems
- Web Development
- Cybersecurity
- Software Engineering
Credentials and qualifications
The standard credential for adjunct computer science teaching is a master's in computer science, IT, or related field (industry experience at major tech companies is often accepted at applied 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 computer science jobs
The most active employers of adjunct computer science 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 computer science?
- Most adjunct computer science positions require a master's in computer science, IT, or related field (industry experience at major tech companies is often accepted at applied programs). Community colleges and online universities have more flexibility on credentials; four-year universities and graduate programs are stricter.
- How much do adjunct computer science professors earn per course?
- Adjunct computer science 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 computer science courses pay $3,500–$7,000+.
- What computer science courses do adjuncts typically teach?
- The most common adjunct computer science teaching assignments are introductory and gen-ed courses with high enrollment: Introduction to Programming, Data Structures and Algorithms, Database Systems, Web Development, and similar undergraduate sections.
- Can I teach adjunct computer science online or remote?
- Yes — every major online university (SNHU, UMGC, Western Governors, Liberty, Grand Canyon, Walden) hires online computer science adjuncts, and most community colleges and four-year universities now offer asynchronous online sections in computer science. Filter the listings above by modality "Online" to see only remote-eligible roles.
- How competitive are adjunct computer science 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.
