Cuyamaca CollegeThe Academic Senate regularly considers changes tothese lists, and recommendations from the Senateto the Board of Governors are developed throughactive collaboration between the local senates,professional organizations within the state andthe Chancellor’s Office. The resulting minimumqualifications serve as a statewide benchmark forpromoting professionalism and rigor within theacademic disciplines in the community collegesand a guideline for day-to-day decisions regardingsuitability for employment in the system.Districts may establish local qualifications beyondthe minimum standards defined in the disciplineslists, and they have flexibility in how they organizecourses within disciplines, how to apply equivalency,and how to develop criteria and employ processes toselect administrators and instructors. Developmentof local processes for applying the minimumqualifications requires mutual agreement betweenthe board of trustees and the academic senate.8GUIDELINES FOR USING THEDISCIPLINES LISTSThese disciplines lists must be used in conjunctionwith the California Code of Regulations, title 5minimum qualifications regulations (CCR §5340053430). Applicable rules include the following: Degrees and credits generally must be fromaccredited institutions (§53406). An occupational license or certificate is requiredin certain instances (§53417). A district may hire a person who possessesqualifications different from, but equivalent to,those listed on the disciplines list, accordingto criteria and procedures agreed upon bythe governing board and the academic senate(§53430).California Code of Regulation, title 5 in severalsections also specifies minimum qualificationsfor additional faculty members, including healthservices professionals, non-credit instructors,apprenticeship instructors, Disabled StudentsPrograms and Services (DSPS) personnel,2020 Minimum Qualifications for Faculty and Administrators in California Community Colleges
Extended Opportunity Programs and Services(EOPS) personnel, learning assistance and tutoringcoordinators and work experience coordinators.These regulation sections are incorporated into thedisciplines list in their entirety where appropriateas well as being included in the Statutory Laws andRegulations section of this handbook. Further, theselists only reflect the statewide minimums for personsto be considered qualified to teach in a discipline.Each district may establish additional qualifications,which are more rigorous than those herein.TYPES OF DISCIPLINE LISTS INCLUDED INTHE HANDBOOKSince its inception, the Disciplines List had beendivided into two parts to differentiate thosedisciplines for which a master’s degree is requiredas a precondition for employment, from thosefor which it is not. Generally, disciplines havebeen included on the Master’s List if universitiestypically offer sufficient upper division and graduateinstruction in applicable subjects to permit theirawarding advanced degrees in that discipline. Onthe other hand, disciplines for which there is no orlimited graduate training, as found in some careerand technical education fields, have been includedon the Disciplines Requiring any degree andProfessional Experience List non-Master’s List.In those cases where a master’s degree is notgenerally expected or available, the minimumstandard has been a bachelor’s degree in anysubject, plus two years of professional experiencedirectly related to the teaching assignment or anassociate degree in any subject, plus six years ofprofessional experience directly related to theteaching assignment.In May 2009, the California Community CollegesBoard of Governors approved changes to CaliforniaCode of Regulations, title 5, §53407 and §53410to allow the creation of a third option within theminimum qualifications to be defined requiringa bachelor’s or associate degree in a specificdiscipline, plus requisite years of professionalexperience. The four types of discipline listscontained in this handbook are identified on thefollowing page.2020 Minimum Qualifications for Faculty and Administrators in California Community Colleges9

As such, this is a categorythat was created in May 2009. Disciplines on this list require a bachelor’s orassociate degree in a specific area. The professional experience required (twoyears/bachelor’s degree or six years/associate) must be directly related to thefaculty member’s teaching assignment.This is an alphabetical list of all of the disciplines in which a master’s degreeis not generally expected or available.
