Happy spring!

Below is a partial run-down of stipends (teaching pay) for adjunct faculty in the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences at UMBC. Stipends are for teaching a 3-credit course per semester, except as noted otherwise. Based on information received and public record. Corrections, clarifications, additions welcome. 

AMST. When I became adjunct II, it went up to $3,800. That's where it is now.

ANCS. Happy to help!  $3,500 for a 3-credit course, for an Adjunct I. Stipend may be split between two departments. 

Asia Studies. In my department pay is $4000 per semester for adjunct faculty. Hope this helps. 

DANC.  [From the chair:] “The Dance Department pays an average of $3300 for a 3 credit course, depending on the meeting pattern for the course.” 

ECON. The stipends vary depending on course level. Basic accounting stipend is $3,600 per section. More for Intermediate or Advanced Accounting.

Emergency Health Services. Minimum stipend for adjunct faculty is $3,000.
