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.
Frequently asked questions
- What qualifications do I need to teach adjunct education?
- Most adjunct education positions require a master's in education (MEd) or curriculum & instruction (EdD or PhD preferred for graduate-level teaching). Community colleges and online universities have more flexibility on credentials; four-year universities and graduate programs are stricter.
- How much do adjunct education professors earn per course?
- Adjunct education 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 education courses pay $3,500–$7,000+.
- What education courses do adjuncts typically teach?
- The most common adjunct education teaching assignments are introductory and gen-ed courses with high enrollment: Foundations of Education, Curriculum and Instruction, Educational Psychology, Classroom Management, and similar undergraduate sections.
- Can I teach adjunct education online or remote?
- Yes — every major online university (SNHU, UMGC, Western Governors, Liberty, Grand Canyon, Walden) hires online education adjuncts, and most community colleges and four-year universities now offer asynchronous online sections in education. Filter the listings above by modality "Online" to see only remote-eligible roles.
- How competitive are adjunct education 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.
