All faculty who achieve tenure and the rank of associate professor have demonstrated and documented a clear record of excellence in teaching and a record of at least high quality in either scholarship or service, with performance in the other category being, at a minimum, satisfactory.

We recognize the recipients of four of our prestigious faculty awards each spring: the Burks Oakley II Distinguished Online Teaching Award, the Faculty Excellence Award, the Pearson Faculty Award, and the Spencer Faculty Service Award. The fifth prestigious faculty award, the University Scholars Award, will be presented in the fall in conjunction with our Faculty Scholarship Recognition.
