Certification Standards

Pima's certification requirements are published in PCC Regulation RG-3001/A "Faculty Standards and Qualifications".  A related PCC Standard Practice Guide, SPG-3001/AA "Faculty Standards and Qualifications", is also available online. 

In most cases, a master's degree is required to teach academic classes designed to transfer to other colleges and universities. 

Degrees and courses qualifying for these standards must be from an accredited college or university.

College degrees from institutions outside the United States must be submitted by the applicant to an approved foreign credential evaluation agency for a course-by-course evaluation.
