Criterion 5.2 - Deployment

CRITERION 5.2.a. The business unit must provide evidence that faculty are qualified to teach all the required business courses. Faculty qualifications in the business unit are defined as Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Doctorate Degrees.

Note: All faculty qualifications must be validated with original transcripts, certificates, and/or related written documentation that clearly states the qualification.

Note: Faculty members should possess a degree higher than the degree program in which they are teaching unless it can be demonstrated that there is proper professional experience at the graduate level. Complete Table 5.1.c. Faculty
Focus.

Historically, accredited programs have focused on faculty input as a basis for demonstrating quality. The following levels were considered appropriate:

Ninety percent of the undergraduate credit hours in business are taught by Master’s or Doctorate Degreed faculty. (See Glossary of Terms for definitions of master’s or doctorate qualified.)

at least 40 percent of the undergraduate credit hours in business and 70 percent of the graduate credit hours in business are taught by Doctorate Degree faculty.
one hundred percent of the doctorate credit hours in business are taught by Doctorate Degree faculty.

If your institution does not come within five percent of these historically acceptable faculty-credentialing levels, you must present your rationale for the differences and provide detailed records of student learning outcomes to demonstrate that your faculty composition supports your mission and program objectives.

All faculty members who are teaching courses that are part of the CPC, business major, or a required business course for a business student to graduate, must be reported in the faculty qualifications table, Table 5.1.c. For example, this would include anyone teaching a section of a course, even if the course has an assigned “master teacher” who developed the course syllabus and supervises the teacher. It also includes faculty members who teach “Dual Credit” courses receiving credits for courses in the business unit. Dual Credit enrolls students in college courses while they are still in high school, allowing them to earn credit for both.

Criterion 5.2.a.1

Provide credit-hour production data by faculty member, separating full-time and part-time faculty. (See Table 5.2.A)

Complete Table 5.2.a.1 - Table for Faculty Coverage Summary in the self-study tables provides information on how your faculty are deployed.

Criterion 5.2.a.2.
Each school or program must provide evidence of the deployment of faculty resources among the disciplines, units, courses, departments, and major fields to ensure that every student attending classes (on campus or off campus, day or night, or online) have an opportunity to receive instruction from an appropriate mix of the faculty to ensure consistent quality across programs and student groups.
