ATH - Anthropology Instructor Qualifications

(This is the final description in a series of discussions about faculty qualifications. MS)

MA Degree in Anthropology or a Ph.D. in Anthropology specializing in one of the following sub-fields:
biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, archaeology or linguistics. The SAC recognizes that individuals with a MA degree in Anthropology may not have a sub-Field specialty listed on their transcript. However, a review of MA candidate’s coursework, thesis topic and vita should show that their graduate education is centered about at least one of the above sub fields.
Two years experience teaching anthropology at an accredited college or university. (This experience may include graduate student teaching experience or part time assignments.)
Graduate–level training and coursework in ethnographic methods social research or laboratory methods/analysis, or the equivalent of one-year academic experience in the field. (This experience may include graduate school projects such as summer work in field school environments).
For ethnographic area or topical area, specific courses (like ATH 210, 211,230,231, 232, or 214) faculty, must have both graduate level academic preparation (minimum 9 credit hours or 6 semester hours) in the specialty area to be taught, as well one year of field experience focused on the ethnographic area or topic to be taught.
