The teaching load for this position is three courses per semester, consisting primarily of introductory and intermediate classes. This position is not eligible for tenure, but it is eligible for promotion to Associate and Full Teaching Professor and for renewal with progressively longer-term contracts. Teaching Professors at Wake Forest are eligible for all of the same professional rights and resources afforded tenure track faculty except research leaves. This includes professional development support, such as departmental and college travel funds.
