Is A college teacher always a professor?

Question

If not, what makes the difference?

Ok then, what would you call someone with a masters in math that is newly teaching lower level classes at a community college?

Answer 1

In terms of address, you'd call a math teacher with a master's "professor" unless he told you to call him something different.

But there are huge distinctions between all kinds of folks, and it's not really important to a student how they're divided up. But if you just care about figuring out someone's job title, a person with a Master's degree is LIKELY to be an "instructor" or an "adjunct professor." But depending on the school, they might be an assistant professor, an associate professor, a full professor, an honorary professor, or a teaching assistant.

You could ask what the job title is, but it doesn't matter much. The difference isn't always as cut and dry as how much education a person has, or even where they teach. It's like any job--different employers/companies/schools call their instructors/professors different things.

Answer 2

No, A professor is a College teacher who has completed a Masters Program.

Teacher at colleges who don't have M.D. are called Adjunct staff, which are used only to meet demand and arn't full staff.

Also, some schools allow studnets in a Graduates program can teach intro level classes as student teachers.

Answer 3

No. You could have someone with a Master's Degree who is working in the field you are studying. This person is often called an Instructor.

You could also have a Graduate Assistant - someone working towards their Master's Degree.

You could have someone with a Doctorate who just got hired and is under the scrutiny of the college. They are sometimes called Associate Professor or Assistant Professor.

Answer 4

College teachers can be many things. A professor is the "highest rank." You then have associate professors, assistant professors, instructors, and graduate teaching assistants. Not all professors have Ph.D.'s (there are other terminal degrees like M.F.A.), and not all Ph.D.'s are professors. It is more significant to be "Professor Smith" than "Dr. Smith." It takes YEARS of hard work to be a full professor.

Answer 5

When a college teacher hs the title of "Professor", they have a Phd. Otherwise they only have a Masters Degree or are a Teachers Aid.

Answer 6

A college teacher need not be a professor but is required to pass a B.Ed examination.There wont be much difference

Answer 7

Yes because the word "professor" means a college or university teacher.

Answer 8

A COLLEGE TEACHER CANNOT ALWAYS A PROFESSOR HE BECOMES PROFESSOR IF HE IS TEACHING UNDERGRADUATE COURSES. AT FIRST AFTER HAVING A POST GRADUATE EXPERIENCE HE WILL BE A TUTOR THEN LECTURER,THEN ASSISTANT PROFESSOR THEN READER THEN ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR THEN PROFESSOR THEN HEAD OF THE DEPARTMENT THEN DEAN

Answer 9

No, I teach college students, but I am a Foreign Teacher.

I think the qualifications you have (MA, PHD) and if you have tenure or not.

Answer 10

Some college instructors are proefessors and want to be called, Proffessor. Some want to be called Doctor. Others want to be called Mr. Mrs. or even their first name. Call them, what they tell you to.
