About CCU 

Colorado Christian University is the premier interdenominational Christian university in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region, delivering world-class education to thousands of students. The fully accredited, nonprofit University is located in Lakewood, Colorado, a suburb of Denver. 

Colorado Christian University was founded in 1914. CCU’s motto is — grace and truth. This motto comes from John 1.14: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (ESV)  

CCU's mission is Christ-centered higher education transforming students to impact the world with grace and truth. 

Colorado Christian University cultivates knowledge and love of God in a Christ-centered community of learners and scholars, with an enduring commitment to the integration of exemplary academics, spiritual formation, and engagement with the world. We envision graduates who think critically and creatively, lead with high ethical and professional standards, embody the character and compassion of Jesus Christ, treasure the gospel, and who thereby are prepared to impact the world in their callings. 

CCU embraces an educational model that was present at the foundation of many of the great western and American universities. It is made up of three pillars — competence, character, and Christ-centered faith. Secular universities have abandoned two of those pillars. We think this is a major oversight that eventually undermines education. Furthermore, we believe this classical educational model is both life-giving and greatly needed in our time. 

A leader in higher education, CCU has been consistently ranked in the top 2 percent of colleges and universities nationwide for its core curriculum by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni. CCU has had ten consecutive years of enrollment growth and has been named one of the five fastest-growing master’s granting universities by The Chronicle of Higher Education. 

CCU offers more than 200 degree program options for traditional and adult students through its two colleges — the College of Undergraduate Studies and College of Adult and Graduate Studies. More than 9,000 students attend the University on the main campus, in regional centers throughout Colorado, and online.

Colorado Christian University is hiring a Remote Adjunct/Affiliate Faculty-Undergraduate Psychology-College of Adult and Graduate Studies

Description

About the Job 
This is an affiliate faculty position (sometimes called adjunct faculty at other colleges) with CCU’s online College of Adult and Graduate Studies (CAGS).
CAGS offers online classes that are fully asynchronous using our learning management system (Brightspace). Classes typically meet for five weeks, always have adult students, and never (for this position) require synchronous meetings. Courses are prebuilt by a centralized Faculty Design team that provides all the necessary syllabi and instructional materials to teachers and students. This allows the teacher to focus on building relationships, instructing psychology principles, and communicating the love of Jesus Christ in a conservative, Christian environment.
Upon submitting a resume and application, candidates selected for the next steps are offered the opportunity to complete a one-way video interview. The CCU Human Resources department reviews this video interview, which, if deemed in line with CCU’s beliefs and mission, is sent to the Dean of Behavior and Social Sciences (SBSS) for further review. The SBSS Dean and possibly others will interview selected candidates to determine if the candidate is a good match for CCU, CAGS, and SBSS. All candidates will be notified of the outcome of the hiring process.
Those selected join the CAGS Affiliate Faculty pool and are vetted to teach courses based on their qualifications and relevant experience. Course offers are individually contracted and determined based on student enrollment and how many other faculty are in their respective area of expertise.
Affiliates are expected to learn about CCU and its policies through CCU’s Faculty Development team and will have a mentor for their first class teaching at CCU. Every faculty member must complete a brief yearly training to comply with federal, state, and CCU training requirements.
All affiliates are paid on a per-class contract basis and are classified as affiliate employees of CCU; affiliates are not considered regular part-time employees. Each affiliate can participate in the 403(b) plan, but affiliate faculty are not eligible for any matching contribution and do not qualify for other CCU benefits.
About CCU 
Colorado Christian University is the premier interdenominational Christian university in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region, delivering world-class education to thousands of students. The fully accredited, nonprofit University is located in Lakewood, Colorado, a suburb of Denver.
Colorado Christian University was founded in 1914.  CCU’s motto is--grace and truth. This motto comes from John 1.14: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (ESV) 
CCU's mission is Christ-centered higher education transforming students to impact the world with grace and truth.
Colorado Christian University cultivates knowledge and love of God in a Christ-centered community of learners and scholars, with an enduring commitment to the integration of exemplary academics, spiritual formation, and engagement with the world. We envision graduates who think critically and creatively, lead with high ethical and professional standards, embody the character and compassion of Jesus Christ, treasure the gospel, and who thereby are prepared to impact the world in their callings.
CCU embraces an educational model that was present at the foundation of many of the great western and American universities. It is made up of three pillars—competence, character and Christ-centered faith. Secular universities have abandoned two of those pillars. We think this is a major oversight that eventually undermines education. Furthermore, we believe this classical educational model is both life-giving and greatly needed in our time.
A leader in higher education, CCU has been consistently ranked in the top two percent of colleges and universities nationwide for its core curriculum by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni. CCU has had ten consecutive years of enrollment growth and has been named one of the five fastest-growing master’s granting universities by The Chronicle of Higher Education.

Colorado Christian University is hiring a Remote Adjunct/Affiliate Faculty – PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision – School of Counseling- College of Adult and Graduate Studies

Description

About the Job 
 
Colorado Christian University is a teaching institution that emphasizes exceptional faculty teaching and achievement of student learning outcomes, within the framework of spiritual formation, as the highest priority. Affiliate faculty for the PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision program are highly qualified professionals with an earned doctorate in counselor education, preferably from a CACREP-accredited program. They are able to integrate their Christian faith in the classroom to disciple the next generation of Christian leaders in the professional counseling profession.
 
The primary role of the affiliate faculty is teaching, which focuses on instruction, assessment of student learning outcomes, and program evaluation. Most courses are offered in an accelerated format with synchronous and asynchronous components. Core courses are taught using blended formats designed for adult learners. The PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision program is a year-round program.
 
This is not a full-time position.
 
An Affiliate Faculty position (often called Adjunct Faculty in higher education) with CCU can be for either our College of Adult and Graduate Studies (CAGS) or College of Undergraduate Studies (CUS). 
This is an opening for CAGS, which typically offers classes in an online environment using our Learning Management System (Brightspace).
 
Upon submitting a resume and application, those candidates who are selected for the next steps are offered the opportunity to complete a one-way video interview. This video interview is reviewed by the Human Resources department and then sent to the appropriate dean for further review.  Each dean has a review and selection process, which may include in-person interviews or evaluations. All candidates will be notified of the outcome of the hiring process. 
 
Those who are selected join the CAGS Affiliate Faculty pool and are vetted to teach courses based on their qualifications and relevant experience.  Offers for courses are determined based on student enrollment and on how many other faculty are in their respective area of expertise.
Affiliates are expected to learn about CCU and its policies through the University’s Faculty Development team where each Affiliate Faculty member is asked to complete a series of badges to show they have completed the training required to teach at CCU.  Affiliates must complete the required badge training to remain in the teaching pool.   
 
All affiliates are paid on a per-class contract basis and are classified as affiliate employees of CCU; affiliates are not considered regular part-time employees. This does afford each affiliate the option to participate in the 403(b) plan, but affiliate faculty are not eligible for any matching contribution and are not eligible for other CCU benefits.

About CCU

Colorado Christian University is the premier interdenominational Christian university in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region, delivering world class education to thousands of students. The fully accredited, nonprofit University is located in Lakewood, Colorado, a suburb of Denver.

Colorado Christian University was founded in 1914. CCU's motto is--grace and truth. This motto comes from John 1.14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth." (ESV) 

CCU's mission is Christ-centered higher education transforming students to impact the world with grace and truth.

Colorado Christian University cultivates knowledge and love of God in a Christ-centered community of learners and scholars, with an enduring commitment to the integration of exemplary academics, spiritual formation, and engagement with the world.
