How Seriously Does This School Take Hiring Full-Time Teachers? Very Seriously

Brooklyn Law School's utilization of full-time teaching staff ranks among the highest in the nation, with 100.0% of instructors employed full time.

Reliance on Part-Time Teachers is Way Below Average

At Brooklyn Law School, only 0.0% of the teaching staff are part-time non-faculty or non-tenure track faculty. This use of adjuncts is far below the national average of 51.0%, which could be indicative of Brooklyn Law School's commitment to building a strong, long-term instructional team.

Colleges often use part-time professors and adjuncts to teach courses, rather than full-time faculty. This hiring practice is primarily a way to save money amid increasingly tight budgets. However, it is a controversial practice with strong views on either side. We encourage you to understand this topic more deeply, and how the colleges you are interested in approach faculty hiring. It's your education and your money on the line. Make sure you know what you are getting for it.

Additional Information

• What is an Adjunct? An adjunct is a teacher that has either no contract or a very short term contract for a single semester or year. These teachers often instruct only a single class or two at a given college and may have teaching or non-teaching jobs elsewhere. The term 'adjunct' can be used very loosely in academia, and many schools classify these instructors differently. To account for this difference, we use the total number of part-time non-faculty and non-tenure track faculty to represent the count of adjuncts for the college or university.

Grad Assistants May Not Teach Classes

Brooklyn Law School reports 25 graduate assistants, however, none of them are considered instructional, meaning they do not teach or perform teaching-related activities.
