While scholarly work plays a vital role in the tenure and promotion process, the “College P&B Guidelines” also emphasizes a strong teaching record. At Baruch, teaching is evaluated holistically, encompassing curriculum planning, course design, student outcomes and feedback, and mentoring.

To support faculty in excelling as educators and strengthening their tenure and promotion cases, we offer three career-focused pedagogy-related certificates.
