Adjunct Faculty, Art and Art History

Adjunct Faculty Pool, Art and Art History

Columbia College Chicago actively promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion as vitally important to its present and future success. These principles are essential to the educational experiences of our students, staff, and faculty.

In addition to its regular, full-time faculty, Columbia College Chicago hires scholars, creative professionals and other industry-experienced Adjunct Faculty to teach courses on a part-time basis. These positions are not available every semester and are contingent upon student enrollment and the availability of funding.

The Art | Design (Art and Design) department offers a BA in Art History, BA and BFA degrees in Fine Art, Graphic Design and Illustration, a BFA in Interior Architecture, an MFA in Fine Art, and minors in Art History, Craft, Fine Art, Graphic Design and Illustration.

To be qualified to teach at the college, candidates must possess a terminal degree in the relevant discipline —or at least one degree above the level at which they teach. In terminal degree programs, faculty members will possess the same level of degree. In extraordinary cases, a history of distinguished professional work, compelling creative achievements, or other significant experience in the relevant field may be considered as an alternative to the required degree.
