• Provide instruction for a total of two to twenty (2-20) hours per week (depending on your course/contract).

• Advise students on academic progress, and recommend student candidates for earned degrees.
• Participate in the selection, evaluation, and advancement of faculty and academic administrators.
• Contribute to the advancement of knowledge through open inquiry, creative activity and research as appropriate.

The faculty member may consider any matter in connection with the effectiveness and quality of the educational program or the professional welfare of the faculty, may make recommendations to the department chair, academic dean or provost concerning any policies, programs, or procedures which affect the educational program or faculty welfare.

• An undergraduate degree or its equivalent in music therapy and one (1) year of clinical experience (or its equivalent in part-time work) required.
