CORE faculty are the main instructors in a certain program or department. They possess specialized knowledge and skills in their profession. Curriculum development, education, and student mentoring are often greatly influenced by core faculty. They provide guidance, support, and mentorship to students. Some claim that the core faculty contributes to the development and improvement of academic programs.
Academic success is enhanced by the strong mentoring and training provided by core faculty members. The expertise and involvement of an academic program’s core faculty can enhance its validity and repute.
