Part-Time Faculty
Over 450 part-time faculty teach for Grossmont College each semester. They bring the current state-of-the-art knowledge in their disciplines and a professional commitment to their students. Their dedication and loyalty to the college and its students are very much appreciated. Without these faculty, the college would not be able to provide the breadth of course offerings or bring the depth of practical work experience to the classroom that it does today.
