Kinesiology Faculty Qualifying Credentials

---

Accreditation Qualifications and Rationale

While academic credentials are typically the standard qualification for faculty members, other qualifications may also be considered appropriate. Examples could include:

• Appropriately related work experiences in the field

• Professional licensure and certifications related to the teaching assignment

• Honors and awards

• Continuing professional development

• Relevant peer-reviewed publications

• Continuous documented excellence in teaching

These qualifications are especially important in professional, technical, and technology-dependent fields.

Qualifications for teaching non-transferrable technical courses depend heavily on professional experience and appropriate certifications. When credentials do not conform to traditional guidelines, the appropriate dean must provide an overall assessment of the professional experience, appropriate licensures, or alternative credentials using the Faculty Certification of Credentials Form, documenting qualifications related to the teaching area.
