Full-time professors are usually expected to have a teaching load of at least 12 units per semester. Three units could be credited to this load by service on departmental, college, and university committees, writing and implementing a grant, or representing the program and the university with accreditation and professional organizations. The successful candidate will also be directly responsible for the academic advising, supervising, training, and mentoring of MFT students.
