If an instructors masters degree is in a different discipline than shes teaching, but shes currently enrolled in a doctoral program in the teaching discipline, is this acceptable?
It depends on how far she has progressed in her program. As noted above, if a graduate degree has not yet been earned in the teaching field, SACS wants a specific statement of how many graduate hours have been completed and the specific discipline in which they were earned, not just a vague claim that the person is enrolled in a degree program. The narrative should include the title of the degree being sought, the institution at which it is being pursued, and the total number of hours that have been completed at this point. For example, a faculty member with a master’s in accounting but who is currently studying and teaching marketing might cite the following credentials: Master of Accountancy, Northern Kentucky University; currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Marketing at the University of Cincinnati; 26 post-master’s graduate hours completed, including 18 hours of marketing.
