Qualifications: All adjunct faculty must hold a Master’s degree or higher and, depending on the assigned teaching role and program, hold an active license to practice nursing (e.g., RN, APRN ) in the State of Utah. Decisions about whether adjunct faculty are educationally and experientially prepared for an assigned teaching role are made on a case-by-case basis.
