    Adjunct/Affiliate Faculty - Colorado Springs, United States - Colorado Christian University

    Default job background
    Description
    About the Job


    Colorado Christian University is a teaching institution that emphasizes exceptional faculty teaching and achievement of student learning outcomes, within the framework of spiritual formation, as the highest priority.

    Affiliate faculty for the Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program are highly qualified professionals with an earned doctorate in counselor education, from a CACREP-accredited program, or have a related doctoral degree and experience as a licensed professional counselor.

    They are able to integrate their Christian faith in the classroom to disciple the next generation of Christian leaders in the professional counseling profession.


    The primary role of the affiliate faculty is teaching which focuses on instruction, assessment of student learning outcomes, and program evaluation.

    Most courses are offered in an accelerated format with synchronous and asynchronous components. Core courses are taught using blended formats designed for adult learners. The Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program is a year-round program.

    This is not a full time position.


    An Affiliate Faculty position (often called Adjunct Faculty in higher education) with CCU can be for either our College of Adult and Graduate Studies (CAGS) or College of Undergraduate Studies (CUS).


    This is an opening for CAGS, which typically offers classes in an online environment using our Learning Management System (Brightspace).

    Some CAGS classes are in-seat at a center in the state of Colorado; however, the trend in most programs is for the majority of students to attend online.

    Most classes meet for five weeks, however some classes are offered in 7, 9, and 10 week formats.


    Upon submitting a resume and application, those candidates who are selected for the next steps are offered the opportunity to complete a one-way video interview.

    This video interview is reviewed by the Human Resources department and then sent to the appropriate dean for further review.

    Each dean has a review and selection process, which may include in-person interviews or evaluations. All candidates will be notified of the outcome of the hiring process.


    Those who are selected join the CAGS Affiliate Faculty pool and are vetted to teach courses based on their qualifications and relevant experience.

    Offers for courses are determined based on student enrollment and on how many other faculty are in their respective area of expertise.


    Affiliates are expected to learn about CCU and its policies through the University's Faculty Development team where each Affiliate Faculty member is asked to complete a series of badges to show they have completed the training required to teach at CCU.

    Affiliates must complete the required badge training to remain in the teaching pool.


    All affiliates are paid on a per-class contract basis and are classified as affiliate employees of CCU; affiliates are not considered regular part-time employees.

    This does afford each affiliate the option to participate in the 403(b) plan, but affiliate faculty are not eligible for any matching contribution and are not eligible for other CCU benefits.

    About CCU


    Colorado Christian University is the premier interdenominational Christian university in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region, delivering world class education to thousands of students.

    The fully accredited, nonprofit University is located in Lakewood, Colorado, a suburb of Denver.

    Colorado Christian University was founded in 1914 on two principles - grace and truth.

    CCU's scriptural foundation comes from John 1:17:
    For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. (ESV)

    CCU's mission is Christ-centered higher education transforming students to impact the world with grace and truth.


    A leader in higher education, the University has been consistently ranked in the top 2 percent of colleges and universities nationwide for its core curriculum by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni.
