About adjunct education professor jobs
Adjunct education professors are part-time faculty hired semester by semester to teach undergraduate or graduate education courses. Most institutions hire education 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 education teaching assignments
- Foundations of Education
- Curriculum and Instruction
- Educational Psychology
- Classroom Management
- Special Education
- Educational Leadership
Credentials and qualifications
The standard credential for adjunct education teaching is a master's in education (MEd) or curriculum & instruction (EdD or PhD preferred for graduate-level teaching). 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 education jobs
The most active employers of adjunct education 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.
