Our Opportunity:

Building on Purdue University's mission to provide greater access to affordable, high-quality
education, Purdue University Global is a public, nonprofit institution offering a world-class
education online. Purdue Global delivers personalized online education tailored to the unique
needs of adults who have work or life experience beyond the classroom, enabling them to
develop essential academic and professional skills with the support and flexibility they need to
achieve their career goals.

This Full-Time Faculty role will support Purdue University Global’s School of Nursing in the DNP
program.

Job Summary:

Full-time faculty may have responsibilities in four areas: teaching, service, scholarship, and
professional development. The amount of time spent in each area is determined on an annual
basis, after discussion between the faculty member and their Chair, and may vary from year to
year. The workload is based on the needs of the Department and School, consistent with the
university’s mission as a teaching institution. While the majority of faculty typically spend the
greatest percentage of their time teaching, there is the opportunity in a given year for the
percentage of time in any category to change.

Teaching responsibilities may include didactic and project courses within the Doctor of Nursing Practice

(DNP) program. The number of courses assigned will consider credentials, program needs, course types,

the number of different preparations, and the number of students served.

Service will typically include participating in and/or taking leadership roles in Purdue Global
department or institution-wide governance committees. Service examples also include course
lead, training and mentoring other faculty, facilitating student-focused organizations or activities,
the evaluation of student portfolios, curriculum work, vacation relief for colleagues, and
leadership in professional organizations. In limited cases, additional teaching responsibilities may

be assigned with additional compensation. 

Scholarship activities vary with the interests of the individual faculty member. Scholarship activities

should be developed in consultation with the Dean, Associate Dean or Chair. Examples of PG scholarship

activities include developing and implementing solutions or new approaches to academic and professional

challenges, as well as publishing articles related to research within the discipline

or profession and/or presenting at academic or professional meetings.

A minimum of 8 hours of professional development is required for all faculty within each academic year. 

Additionally, Purdue Global University compliance training is required annually.

A balance of these four responsibilities is intended to sustain the academic goals of the
university to serve adult learners, and advance the professional goals of the faculty, while
creating a supportive learning environment that provides students with a clear path to
graduation.

Teaching is typically the primary assignment for a Purdue Global faculty member, with service,
scholarship, and additional professional development activities comprising the balance of the
annual workload. If no assignments are made in service and scholarship, a faculty member
whose only assignment is teaching would not exceed 16-18 courses taught in a year.
