Who are the faculty who teach in the SIE program?
• All SIE program course lecturers have an earned doctoral degree in the discipline they teach, and have a history with the Biology, Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics, and the Chemistry and Biochemistry Departments. They are approved by those departments to teach the evening courses. In several cases, University of Maryland faculty lecture in the evening courses. The laboratory teaching assistants are predominantly graduate students in the University of Maryland programs, with experience teaching these same courses in the traditional day program. When that is not the case, teaching assistants with only the highest qualifications in the specific subject matter are hired. All SIE program staff possess excellent English communication skills and are committed to student success.
