Lecturer - Social Work (Pool)

The University of Colorado Colorado Springs invites applications to establish and maintain an ongoing pool of lecturer applications from which future appointments to temporary, non-tenure track positions for the Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) and Master of Social Work (MSW) programs will be made. The UCCS Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work are accredited by the Council on Social Work Education's Commission on Accreditation.

Accreditation of a baccalaureate or master's social work program by the Council on Social Work Education's Commission on Accreditation indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for assessing program quality evaluated through a peer review process. An accredited program has sufficient resources to meet its mission and goals. The Commission on Accreditation has verified that it complies with all sections of the Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards.

Accreditation applies to all program sites and program delivery methods of an accredited program. Accreditation provides reasonable assurance about the quality of the program and the competence of students graduating from the program.

This is a part-time lecturer position, and appointments are made on a semester-by-semester basis. The person in this position will primarily teach undergraduate-level courses in Social Work, with the possibility of occasional course assignments at the graduate level as needed.
