Adjunct Faculty – LEProgram

Overview

The Learn and Earn in 3 (LE3) program is a bold reimagining of the undergraduate experience for full-time working adults. In this new model, students complete a Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership and Development in just 2.5‑3 years while working full‑time. LE3 faculty are more than instructors—they are partners in student success. All LE3 courses are virtual, combining asynchronous coursework and discussion with intentional synchronous class time.

Instructors who teach in the LE3 program help students not just understand course content, but also develop and apply their overall leadership skills immediately. The best fit for this program are professionals with experience in their field who are ready to share their knowledge with emerging leaders.

We are seeking a candidate who can teach interdisciplinary courses that connect academic theory to practical leadership, professional, and organizational contexts. LE3 courses are designed for working adult learners who bring rich workplace experience and are eager to apply new ideas in real time. Faculty in this program go beyond traditional instruction. They facilitate applied learning, foster critical thinking, and help students integrate academic concepts with personal and professional growth.
