Diverse Professionals with a Passion for Student Success and Lifelong Learning As a distance-based university, we are not limited by geographic restrictions and have the opportuni- ty to hire a diverse faculty of active practitioners from throughout the United States and around the world. This affords you a rich learning environment where you have the chance to work closely with doctoral-degreed faculty members who have been educated at some of the finest universities, including Columbia University, Boston College and University of Southern California. We are also committed to hiring committed full-time faculty, many of whom teach foundations courses or serve as dissertation chairs. These faculty members are more involved in and make valuable contributions to NCU's gover- nance, curriculum and assessment efforts, which translate into innovative and relevant academic programs.
