Economics shapes how we understand the world — from household budgets to global markets. At our Frisco campus, we're looking for a Full Time Instructor in Economics to bring that understanding to life for the next generation of business graduates.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Delivering engaging economics instruction across undergraduate Business programs, with a focus on afternoon and evening cohorts
  • Designing and updating course materials that connect economic theory to real-world application
  • Assessing student performance and providing timely, constructive feedback that supports academic growth
  • Contributing to departmental curriculum reviews and collaborating with colleagues across the Business team

What You Bring

  • A Master's degree in Economics (required)
  • Demonstrated experience teaching economics in a higher education setting
  • The ability to translate complex economic concepts for diverse learner cohorts
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills suited to both classroom and collegial environments
  • A commitment to student success and equitable learning outcomes
  • Familiarity with learning management systems and hybrid or in-person instructional delivery

Why This Role, Why Here

Our Business team in Frisco is a collegial group that takes curriculum seriously and supports its instructors to do their best work. You'll have access to professional development opportunities, a structured onboarding experience, and a department that genuinely values input from its teaching staff. The PM scheduling of this role offers meaningful flexibility alongside a full-time commitment — a balance that suits instructors who are also engaged in research, consulting, or community work. We are committed to building a team that reflects the diverse communities we serve, and we encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply.
