A full-time faculty member's job typically consists of three parts: teaching, research and professional activity, and service to the university and community. A tenure-track higher education faculty typically enters the field as an Assistant Professor. After an established length and quality of work, the Assistant Professor is promoted to Associate with tenure. After a further length and quality of work, the Associate Professor is promoted to Professor. At UNT, an exemplary Professor may be honored as a Regents Professor or Endowed Chair. Professional faculty members are regular faculty members whose assignments are in teaching and service. Professional faculty may bear the title of Lecturer or Clinical Assistant Professor. Professional faculty members may also be promoted within the UNT system (e.g., Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, Principal Lecturer, and Clinical Assistant Professor, Clinical Associate Professor, Clinical Professor).

Affiliate Faculty Members in Higher Education are experienced full-time UNT administrators who have a terminal degree and expertise that complement the mission and vision of the Higher Education Program. Affiliate Faculty Member status is reviewed every 3 years by the full-time Higher Education faculty members.
