Not Many Adjunct Teachers Here
At Calvin Theological Seminary
, only
13.0% 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
51.4%, which could be
indicative of Calvin Theological Seminary'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?On this page, we refer to an adjunct teacher or a part-time teacher interchangeably, although each school may have a slightly different definition.
In short, an adjunct professor can either work full-time or part-time during a school semester, but they have no contract or a contract that lasts only
a short amount of time. To come up with the numbers for this page, 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.
