Call for Adjunct Instructors
To Teach Business Courses
In Accelerated Adult Degree Completion Program

Starting May, 2009

Newberry College, a highly respected, fully accredited (SACS), 150 year-old, private liberal arts college located in Newberry SC, has recently launched an accelerated adult degree completion program called “fastFORWARD.” In this program, adults (25+) who have already earned 60+ transferable credit hours from an accredited institution can earn a Bachelors’ degree in as few as 18 months. The first offering under this program will be a business degree (BA) in Organizational Management (OM). We are enrolling the first two cohorts of 15 adults each to begin in May, 2009. Additional cohorts will start in September, October and November of 2009.

The OM curriculum consists of 3 six-month terms with 5 modules (courses) in each term. It is a lock-step program (all students complete all courses in the prescribed order), which will be taught in a “blended” environment, meaning that part of each course will be taught face-to-face in the classroom and part will be taught online. Each cohort will meet on campus once every 4 to 5 weeks and complete the remainder of their course work in the online environment.

The “blended” format is convenient for both working adult students and for faculty teaching courses. Classroom sessions take place one evening or Saturday at the beginning of each course. Most course work is taught and completed online, evenings, weekends or whenever it is convenient for either students or instructors. Most fastFORWARD instructors are full-time Professors teaching equivalent traditional courses for other area colleges and universities.

fastFORWARD instructors must be fully qualified (according to SACS standards) to teach in the subject matter of each course (see below), meaning at least a Masters Degree and significant teaching experience in the field of teaching, at an accredited institution. Terminal degrees, experience teaching adult students and/or experience with online instruction will be a plus. You will be required to provide transcripts and vita to document your credentials and qualifications.

For the fastFORWARD OM program, we need instructors qualified to teach in the following areas:

Group and Team Dynamics

Organizational Behavior

Business Communications

Management Principals

Accounting for Managers

Finance for Managers

Marketing for Managers

Human Capital Management

Business Ethics and Individual Values

Domestic Business Issues

Global Business

Strategic Management

Research Methods and Statistics

Course development and lesson planning is not required. Syllabi and course materials for all courses in the OM curriculum are prescribed and ready for use. All courses will be preloaded in the online course management system (CMS). Instructor orientation for the blended format and training in the use of the CMS will be provided, as will 24/7 technical support.

Instructors are required to have their own Internet-capable computer (PC or MAC) with a high-speed (broadband) connection. No special software is required.

Compensation for teaching in the fastFORWARD Program is a straight $650 per credit hour. Instructors are engaged on a per course basis. Approximately 50% of total compensation due is paid half way through the course and the remaining 50% upon completion of the course. Instructors may teach up to 3 courses simultaneously. SACS load standards apply to instructors already teaching in the traditional program at Newberry College.
