Through its core course, teaching in Higher Education,
followed by a practicum course, the Preparing Future Faculty Program provides a
teaching and learning forum in which participants engage with a
multidisciplinary, cross-cultural mix of masters students, doctoral candidates,
and post-doctoral fellows. Participants discuss learning theory and strategies,
develop teaching skills, create classroom and job search materials, and work
with faculty from a range of institutional types.
The program is sponsored by the University of Minnesota Graduate
School and the Office of Human Resources. To receive a letter of recognition
and certificate of program participation, students complete two core courses:
GRAD 8101 and GRAD 8102. Students may also register for topic courses offered
under the GRAD 8200 designation to gain a GRAD 8101 equivalent one credit at a
time. Some graduate programs may have different requirements for doctoral
students participating in this program. Contact the PFF Program coordinators if
you have questions.
