In addition to meeting one of three models for HLC qualifications as described in the ACP Instructor Handbook, applicants must have at least two years’ experience in the discipline and have a strong undergraduate background in the content area. Applicants should have taught upper-level honors or advanced courses in the discipline (AP or honors equivalent, or dual credit with another provider). It is preferred that applicants have a master’s degree in English. In some instances, a non-English master’s degree accompanied by relevant graduate coursework in English will suffice. Applicants should submit instructional materials that include a teacher-created curriculum or syllabus of the most advanced English course taught.
