Do full professors teach undergraduate courses?
Depending upon the university or college, full professors may teach undergraduate courses. Oftentimes, it does depend upon the focus of the institution. If it is a large research institution, particularly state universities, full professors may teach one or two undergraduate courses or maybe none at all. Oftentimes associate professors, graduate assistants and instructors are hired to teach undergraduate courses at larger institutions. At a smaller college, liberal arts colleges or community colleges, they do teach undergraduate student on a regular basis. And oftentimes that’s one of the benefits of going to a smaller school, it is the opportunity to be able to be taught by a PhD or someone who has the highest credential in their field.
