Georgetown College is a historically Baptist institution and committed to remaining a broadly Christian institution in the 21st century. The college does not require faculty to be part of any particular denomination or to commit to any particular creedal or faith statement, but just as the college is rooted in Christian love and service, we expect our faculty to actively live out those values as well. The College may use religion as a factor in making faculty employment decisions and in Board of Trustees appointments.

Screening will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. To be considered for the position, upload letter of application, vita, unofficial transcripts, statement of teaching philosophy, and three letters of recommendation.
