The mission of the University is to educate leaders for a global society who are strong in character and judgment, confident in their identity and vocation, and committed to service and justice.

Cal Lutheran's School for Professional and Continuing Studies invites applicants for a full-time Lecturer position in Fall 2027. This position supports two academic majors-Accounting & Financial Analysis and Business Management-and includes responsibilities across both programs, with teaching assignments based on the successful candidate's areas of expertise. We are looking for an enthusiastic individual dedicated to teaching and mentoring post-traditional undergraduate students. We seek candidates with experience and skill in both the subject matter and in serving as a mentor for African-American, Latina/o, and/or Native American students.

The successful candidate will assume Department Chair responsibilities for the Accounting & Financial Analysis and Business Management majors, beginning in their first year.

The School for Professional and Continuing Studies' Bachelor's Degree for Professionals program is a student-centered learning community, designed to meet the educational needs of returning post-traditional learners (i.e., students who are 18 years or older, usually working adults). As of Fall 2025, approximately 70.8% of our Professionals undergrad students identify as being from underrepresented racial and ethnic populations, with over 62.5% identifying as Latina/o. Additionally, about 70.8% of our students are first-generation college students and 57.5% are Pell Grant recipients.

We currently offer six majors leading to a bachelor's degree, each supported by a strong curriculum that gives students the knowledge base they will need to enhance or pursue a career in industry or attend graduate school. Courses are taught in an accelerated format (i.e., 8-week terms, five terms per year). All courses are offered online, with students able to choose to attend a one-hour online synchronous class meeting, or to attend classes fully asynchronously. Two majors are also offered in the traditional in-person format (Business Management being one) with classes meeting for 3.5-hour sessions at the Thousand Oaks campus.
