Q: How do I become an adjunct professor? I’ve always wanted to teach, and it seems like so many schools want people with lots of experience. I just finished my bachelor’s degree but know I’d be good at teaching.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
A: I started as an adjunct before I became a full-time instructor. Laying the groundwork before I even finished my MBA helped me land as an adjunct instructor three months after I finished my MBA.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
While I didn’t have teaching experience, I leveraged my experiences in training and leading training meetings with all the companies I had been with prior. Likewise, I networked with people in the industry for a long time, and always kept a foot in the door at a few different places.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
As well, a couple schools I looked at before deciding on SUNY Delhi had me put together mock lectures and lesson plans; it’s good to have something like this to share in your interview if you are asked.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
The best place to start your search is at the community college level. Many schools will bring on professionals with experience in their field who have a bachelor’s and are possibly pursuing a Master’s degree. Bringing in people from the field, especially in specialized areas like finance, science, law, culinary, business, and technology can really add to a program at any college.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
For the 4 year level, it’s almost a must to have a Master’s degree.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Also, attend career fairs for colleges that often are run when schools are looking for adjuncts. Mildred Elley is running one on August 13th in the Albany area.<\/div>\n

Best of luck to you! Education is a great career choice.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
