Part-Time Instructor: Accelerated Certificate Program (ACP) in Business Administration
The Division of Continuing Education (DCE) is a self-supporting unit within the University of California. Funding is generated through fees collected from a diverse, complex, and ever-changing student population. Part-time instructor positions are on a course by course contracted basis. This is NOT a faculty position.
On-ground teaching positions are now available in the Accelerated Certificate Program in Business Administration (ACP BA). We are seeking qualified instructors with current knowledge and work experience in business administration who can create an interactive and engaging learning environment for international students.
For this program, international students come to the UC Irvine campus to take classes related to business administration. For more detailed information about ACP BA, please visit http://ip.ce.uci.edu/programs/certificate-internship-programs/accelerated-certificate-programs-acps/acp-business-administration/. Course topics include: Essentials of Management, Communication in the Business Environment, Finance for the Non-Financial Business Person, Integrated Marketing Strategies for Today's Business, Strategic Planning, and Entrepreneurship. All classes are on-ground, daytime classes that meet Monday-Friday.

Our curriculum is constantly updated and tailored to bring students the background, expertise, and business practices to remain competitive and advance their careers. Taught by qualified practitioners, our courses feature practical applications, underlying rationale, and current issues, all of which can be immediately utilized in and applied to our students' work environments.
Part-time, temporary assignments are on an as-needed basis. This is an ONGOING recruitment. We accept part-time instructor applications all year long; when the division has a need to fill, we refer to the 'pool' of applications on file.
