The Passaic County Community College faculty has both full-time and adjunct faculty members. All are expected to meet the same standards of academic preparation, course content, and service to students. In addition to a greater teaching load, full-time faculty have additional responsibilities, notably curriculum development and student advisement.
The following is a list of full-time faculty members, together with their credentials, departmental assignment, and year appointed to faculty. A current listing of adjunct facultymay be obtained from each of the academic departments.
The PCCC directory is available on the College website.
