Faculty Professional Development Program

The UAPB Faculty Professional Development Program is designed to directly impact the effectiveness of teaching. In line with the University’s mission, the Faculty Professional Development initiative will integrate quality instruction and student learning experiences that promote and sustain a culture of excellence in academic programs.

Faculty will be able to participate in on and off campus professional development opportunities scheduled throughout the semester. Faculty development workshops will also be provided through web-based instruction which can be accessed at any time.
