Contractual & Per-Course Instructors | Department of Political Science

Contractual and per-course instructors have expertise in their subject field and may hold full-time employment elsewhere. They, therefore, tend to offer practical "real world" insights but generally teach less frequently and perform less research than faculty members. Those who have been designated with a special title (e.g., Visiting Professor, Adjunct Professor) have a more formalized and broader role in the Department.
