Adjunct Faculty

Adjunct Faculty Needs

COTK College is Church of the King's biblically based leadership training institution, offering a non-accredited certificate program in ministry leadership for students ages 18–24. Through an agreement with Oral Roberts University (ORU)—a fully accredited Christian university—students may pursue accredited bachelor's degrees in several majors while participating in COTK College courses. Adjunct instructors at COTK College are therefore teaching courses that support students in an accredited university program through ORU.

Adjunct faculty responsibilities include teaching assigned subject areas and leading class discussions, guiding group assignments, grading and recording student work, maintaining accurate attendance and performance records, conducting student conferences and mentorship meetings, collaborating with university administrative staff, and navigating ORU's online platform and student information system.
