Tenure & Promotion

Tenure Research Records and Outcomes

Below are links to charts of research records for the past nine years in successful tenure and promotion to full professor cases in the College of Arts & Sciences. Click on the School link below to access these charts.

The information available in these charts should be useful to generate discussion among faculty about research expectations; to assist in creating and calibrating departmental criteria for tenure; to provide information to tenure-track faculty about expectations in CAS Schools; and to discern patterns across successful research records that may serve as exemplars and guidance.
