Workplace Culture

NAU aims to be the nation's preeminent engine of opportunity, vehicle of economic mobility, and driver of social impact by delivering equitable postsecondary value in Arizona and beyond.

Special Information

Personalized Learning (PL) incorporates innovative teaching and learning methods. Administered by NAU Online, PL differs from, but complements, the traditional classroom-based academic model, with the goal for students to achieve deep learning through a personalized approach of multiple, hybrid and effective learning methods and modalities and within timeframes that best meet the students' needs. Our model combines best learning practices to ensure competency, including: shared and open- source content; multiple delivery modules such as video and simulations; faculty-led mentorships and tutoring; and customized instruction. Tuition is based on length of time (6-month subscriptions) rather than by course or credit hours, providing a financial incentive to the student to complete their degree in a timely, or even accelerated, fashion. The Personalized Learning program serves students who live in Arizona and beyond, and this position will work directly with students who live in China, communicating, teaching, and conducting assessments in Mandarin.

  • This is a 12-month, non-tenured, non-tenure eligible faculty position. Annual continuation of appointment will depend on program success, the ability to provide students with the academic content and tools to succeed, and continued funding.
