Terminal Degree Award

The "Terminal Degree Award" was developed to increase the number of full-time faculty who complete or pursue a terminal degree. This award allows faculty who are pursuing a terminal degree from an accredited program to request course releases and non-salary financial support. In an effort to further support these faculty, a series of workshops on a variety of dissertation issues are planned.

To apply for a terminal degree award, faculty must meet the following minimum qualifications:

• Served as full-time faculty at UNCP for at least two (2) full academic years
