Faculty Credential Requirement Details: GRCC employs competent faculty members qualified to accomplish the mission and goals of the institution. When determining acceptable qualifications of its faculty, and in compliance with Higher Learning Commission standard 3.c.2, GRCC gives primary consideration to those applicants with an earned Master’s degree or higher in a discipline related field. GRCC also considers professional experiences, professional licensure and certifications, related work experiences in the field and contributions to the teaching discipline.

Those faculty who do not possess the minimum educational requirement of a Master’s degree, either possess required licensure or certification, and/or related work experience (a minimum of 4,000 hours).

It is important to note that this is not a Spanish grammar course. The ideal faculty member to teach this course will have a background in Spanish and the Latino culture; but also can transcend traditional Spanish language training to teach the Spanish vocabulary necessary in Criminal Justice.
