Reflecting the ideals of its founders in 1945, Roosevelt University is a private, nonsectarian community of educators, scholars and learners committed to academic, creative and service excellence, who value differences in personal experiences and perspectives; ask difficult questions; and promote mutual understanding, inclusion, social consciousness and action toward social justice. Recognizing that difference broadens perspectives, Roosevelt University seeks and serves a diverse, promising student body from metropolitan Chicago and around the world.

We invite you to contribute your talents to our community. The Chicago College of Performing Arts/Roosevelt University is seeking a part‑time instructor to teach an online class, ARTM 465 – Fundamentals of Finance – to graduate students in the Master’s in Performing Arts Administration Program for the upcoming fall semester, 8/25/25 to 12/13/25. This class will be delivered fully online.

There is no requirement for the instructor to be local. Specific topics covered will be collaboratively decided upon by the faculty member and the Director of the Performing Arts Administration Program, but may include the following: financial planning and budgeting, cash flow projection, balance sheets, operating statements, non‑profit finance vs. for profit finance, earned vs. contributed income, fixed vs. variable expense.

• Online delivery of course material, including creating assignments and evaluation of students’ work.
• Clear and timely communication.
• Timely submission of all grades.
• Consistent usage of Roosevelt University email address (to be assigned upon onboarding).
• Submission of a syllabus each semester (university‑mandated template will be provided) documenting all class policies, expectations, procedures, and grading criteria.

Compensation is based on student enrollment and course hours determined. For courses that carry fewer or more than three credits, compensation will be prorated down or up accordingly.
