This tenure-track role offers the chance to shape future business professionals through engaging teaching, advising, and real-world application.
At NWC, you’re more than a faculty member—you’re a mentor helping students build confident, successful futures, all in the heart of the Big Horn Basin.

This is a rare opportunity to combine professional fulfillment with an exceptional quality of life, surrounded by mountains, rivers, and wide-open skies.
Faculty choose NWC for our small classes, personal attention, and the chance to make a direct impact on students’ growth and learning.
