Workload

Undergraduate
Faculty members are assigned to classes by the program administrator each quarter. The faculty member’s supervisor works closely with the faculty member in assigning the workload to meet the University, program, student and faculty needs. Whenever possible, efforts are made to have faculty members teach repeating courses, but this is not always possible. While the primary responsibility of faculty members is dedicated to teaching students and each other, the University expects that faculty members will spend part of their work time on other activities such as service, grants, publication, presentation, and projects. Full-time workload is 48-52 units in a calendar year and of which 4 units can be applied towards grant or publications.

Graduate
A general workload model has been developed for faculty. The model delineates the average % time expected for fulfillment of teaching, scholarly activities, and service and may be adjusted as needed at the discretion of the Dean and Department Chairs.
