Given the discipline and the teaching, scholarship, and service responsibilities in the college and the University, how is a high caliber candidate defined?

Will the department consider candidates who are ABD?

A department/program may choose to ask for transcripts and letters of recommendation after the initial review of files.  However, transcripts and letters of recommendation must be in the files of the top five candidates that are sent to the Dean’s Office prior to the authorization of on-campus interviews.

What will the department/program request as evidence of teaching effectiveness?

What will the department/program request as evidence of scholarship, research, or creative work?

Will the department/program request a statement of teaching philosophy and/or a research statement?
