Department of Art and Design – Art History

College of Arts and Humanities

The Department of Art and Design at California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) offers three distinct B.A. degrees—one in Art, one in Art History, and one in Design.

We invite highly qualified, motivated, and well‑organized applicants for a temporary pool of part‑time teaching appointments in all three of these areas. This application is for Art History instruction.

At CSUDH, we celebrate and respect diversity in all forms that include every race, religion, gender, ethnicity, veterans, people with varied abilities, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. We seek candidates who can demonstrate experience in teaching and working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and contribute to the University’s mission, vision, and core values.

We offer rich arts education and programming. The three B.A. degrees provide foundational knowledge, encourage creative exploration, and develop critical thinking skills and visual literacy. Graduating seniors from Design and Art organize presentations and exhibitions of their work as a final culmination of their endeavors. The B.A. in Art History students explore art from many eras and cultures. The B.A. in Design covers areas such as print, web, UI/UX, illustration, photography, motion design, and professional industry internships.

The temporary faculty pool is continuously open, and positions are filled as needed based on student enrollment and funding. Candidates may need to be available to begin teaching on short notice. The Fall term begins in late August and ends in mid‑December; the Spring term begins mid‑January and ends in mid‑May. Opportunities for teaching during the Summer Sessions may also be available.

Failure to satisfactorily complete the background check may affect the continued employment of a current CSU employee who was conditionally offered the position.
