Dec 15, 2021

The Sabbatical Committee invites tenured Cincinnati State faculty members to consider applying for a sabbatical leave.

Applications are due February 1, 2022, for leave to be taken during the 2022-23 academic year.
Any tenured faculty member who has not taken a sabbatical leave in the past 5 years is eligible to apply.

What is a sabbatical?

A sabbatical leave is a one- or two-semester release from typical faculty work in order to encourage and enhance professional growth and effectiveness. The faculty member receives full pay and benefits during the sabbatical leave period.
A sabbatical allows time to engage in specific activities that will help the individual improve as a faculty member and provide benefits to students; the division, program, or department; and/or the College overall.
Two types of sabbaticals may be granted:

Project: The faculty member undertakes specific activities that could involve planned study, research, travel, program or department development, return to industry, or other approved creative work of benefit to the faculty members and to the College.
Advanced Degree: The faculty member pursues an advanced degree necessary to start or continue the operation of an academic program or department.

How do I get started?

Before completing a sabbatical application, the faculty member should meet with your dean to discuss your proposed project.
