This College Among the Worst for Full-Time Teachers

Lancaster Theological Seminary's use of full-time instructors ranks among the nation's lowest, with only 14.0% of instructors teaching on a full-time basis.

High Reliance on Part-Time Teachers or Adjuncts

86.0% of the teaching staff at Lancaster Theological Seminary are part-time non-faculty or non-tenure track faculty. This high use of adjuncts is far above the national average of 51.4% . A high use of adjuncts instead of tenured professors is controversial, and some consider this statistic to be indicative of a college'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.
