Teaching Load Guidelines

The teaching load at Middlebury College is specified as an average of 4.5 courses per year . Chairs have some flexibility in distributing teaching loads equitably among their department members so that each full-time faculty member teaches an average of 4.5 course preparations, 18 contact hours, and 90 enrolled students per academic year, as averaged over 4 years. Faculty whose teaching load falls outside of these guidelines are expected to work with the chair of the department, the dean of the faculty, and VPAA to chart a future teaching trajectory that is consistent with these guidelines See specific guidelines on the Academic Administration webpage.
