Faculty Promotions

Our promotion and tenure process occurs on an annual cycle.

Specific criteria has been developed by the committee to assist faculty members in attaining their goal of promotion and tenure. As you can see below, our annual number of promotions reflects the high level of academic achievement of our faculty and the recognition they receive for it.
