Hello to all. We are processing some numbers we received from Administration, on stipends for adjunct faculty at UMBC.

The data received are from 2014-2015. Here are some representative departments, with adjunct pay averaged per credit hour:

Department Stipend per credit hour

PHIL $1,376

ART $1,287

SOCY $1,286

MATH $1,214

STAT $1,184

AFST $1,060

ENGL $1,054

Russian $939

German $926

Spanish $821

French $785

Quick take-away: Adjunct pay varies among the different colleges, with CAHSS generally lowest. However, adjunct pay also varies within the colleges. So the difference goes beyond 'market forces' and pay higher in STEM fields.

Note that modern language classes are often four-credit courses, with one hour for labs.

More to come.
