Promotion and Tenure

Academic appointments at the Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) are divided into two main categories: regular and non-regular. Under this policy, regular faculty will be referred to as “tenured and tenure track” faculty, and this group will continue to include the traditional faculty of the institution.

Non-regular faculty will be divided into three groups (1) full-time, ranked, non-regular faculty (non-tenure track (NTT) faculty); (2) full-time, unranked, non-regular faculty; and (3) part-time, non-regular faculty (adjunct faculty).
