Many of our faculty conduct research, though the most research-active among them are on the tenure track (Assistant Professors, Associate Professors, and Professors). We also benefit greatly from numerous non-tenure track faculty, some of whom conduct research and all of whom are industry experts, such that everyone contributes to our research mission through their scholarship and/or business expertise.
