Jason,

Thank you for your concern.

Accreditation standards state that the instructor must possess EITHER a degree one level above the 
degree granted in the classes they are teaching OR experience equivalent to 1 1/2 times the degree 
length.  For someone teaching an associates level course you would either need a Bachelors degree 
or 3 years relevant experience.  This position is for an instructor in our diploma program which 
accreditation states must have EITHER and associates degree OR 2 years experience. 

I teach all the associates level courses myself.  Since I am the department head I would be 
familiar with what is required for an instructor in my department and would, of course, post 
accordingly.  You will notice that my requirements are somewhat higher then accreditation. I prefer 
people with industry experience over education because I feel they bring a broader base of 
knowledge to the classroom and the students respect them more.

If you'd like to apply, you can send me your resume.  I will be conducting interviews next week.

Aaron

Expertise in two or more of the following areas:

Certifications desired: A+, Net+, MCP, MCSE, CCNA, Security+, Linux+, CTT  (Not a requirement but 
you would be expected to obtain them. (School pays for them))
Not to knock any job opportunities but I am just wondering: how can a school that gives associate 
degrees be hiring people without a masters in their field? Isn't that a prerequisite for 
accreditation?
