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.
