Practice Your Passion in a Brand New Venue

Many teachers interested in trying a new venue, looking to supplement their income, or seeking the first step in the transition to becoming a college professor find teaching at a two-year college to be a rewarding experience. If you have ever considered trying your hand at teaching at a two-year school, here are some steps that may help you land that job.

  1. Consider your skills, experience, and credentials. Two-year colleges, unlike their four-year counterparts, do not strictly hire PhDs or people in doctoral programs. Many two-year colleges accept applicants who have a master's degree or field experience. If you have a master's degree in education or in another field, this will often be sufficient to get a two-year college adjunct instructor job. So, when you are preparing your application, resume/curriculum vitae (C.V.), or cover letter, don't worry if you don't have that 'terminal degree;' just be sure to include your credentials, the highest level of education you have, special professional development courses you may have taken, and any job-related experience that is relevant (such as curriculum development).

  2. Learn about the faculty structure. Currently, many colleges, both four-year and two-year, hire a lot of adjunct instructors. An adjunct is more or less a part-time, non-tenured, contract instructor. (You can see why they are common: They are less expensive than full-time professors with benefits.) They, for the most part, get paid a stipend based on how many credits or courses they teach. They usually do not have benefits, and they have little by way of job security. These are the jobs most often open to new hires. If you are used to a union job and tenure, this may be a shock to the system, but it's the reality out there. Sometimes, two-year colleges will be looking for full-time, tenure-track assistant professors. These jobs often go to people already on the faculty in an adjunct or other role, or to qualified outside candidates who have experience teaching at other colleges. In short, like many businesses, two-year colleges give preference to people with credentials, experience and an advanced degree. Keep this in mind when you seek a job at a two-year college so you have realistic expectations about the kind of work you will find available.
