Part-Time Faculty
Part-time faculty are essential to the McKendree University experience. As with any successful smaller University the secret to success is its faculty. We believe – and our students and alumni agree – that one of McKendree University’s greatest strengths lies in the talent of its faculty and in the willingness of faculty members to spend time and energy working with students, both in and outside the classroom.
