As an AACSB‑accredited institution, the Craig School of Business (CSB) expects faculty members to hold and maintain qualifications consistent with one of the following categories: SA (Scholarly Academic), PA (Practice Academic), SP (Scholarly Practitioner), or IP (Instructional Practitioner).

Temporary faculty members are responsible for adherence to and implementation of university and system‑wide policies as directed per Academic Policy Manual 306, paragraph
2. Instructors prepare, deliver, conduct, proctor, and grade (as appropriate) lectures, office hours, homework assignments, quizzes, class projects, and midterm and final exams. All classes must be offered and meet as scheduled throughout the entire semester, in the mode assigned and listed in the schedule of classes (i.e., asynchronous, synchronous, in‑person, or hybrid).

Appointment is contingent upon budget and enrollment considerations and subject to order of assignment provisions in the collective bargaining agreement between California State University and California Faculty Association. This includes the “Order of Work” and the requirement that new lecturer appointees are assigned after tenure‑line faculty.

For a Master’s degree the range is $5,507–$6,677 per month for full‑time (15 WTUs). Starting salaries are usually near the minimum of the range and will be adjusted based on the number of WTUs assigned per academic term.
