King, and Randall Cottrell  \nABSTRACT  \nThis study assessed current criteria and procedures used when hiring health education faculty. One hundred thirtytwo program heads/coordinators of health education programs listed in the AAHE 2001 Directory of Institutions completed a mailed 45-item survey on hiring criteria and procedures. Results indicated that 90% of programs had conducted a search since 1995 with 71% hiring a faculty member. Twenty-nine percent were unable to complete their search due to lack of quality candidates, funding issues, or other reasons. Although 62% required interview candidates present research at the interview, only 36% required candidates to teach an actual class. The hiring criteria perceived as most important were desire to teach, health education doctorate, teamwork willingness, demonstrated teaching/presenting ability, and teaching experience. In addition, differences existed based on program type. Programs with graduate degrees had significantly greater numbers of tenure track positions and positions held by tenured faculty, individuals with doctoral/terminal degrees in health education, and individuals with CHES certification. Programs offering graduate degrees were significantly more likely to place emphasis on research experience, whereas programs offering only undergraduate degrees were more likely to place emphasis on teaching experience. Based on these findings, programs may wish to examine possible incongruities between their hiring criteria and actual interviewing procedures.  \nAmerican colleges and universities are facing their most difficult challenge since WorldWar II in finding qualified faculty to teach our students and administrators to manage and lead our institutions of higher education. And yet, our institutions are vastly inexperienced and untrained in the art of identifying, recruiting, and hiring faculty and administrators (Stein & Trachtenberg, 1993, p. 9) .  \nThis statement would seem to be as relevant today as it was 10 years ago. Having been involved in several health education faculty searches that failed to yield large pools of qualified candidates and ended  \nwith decisions to postpone hiring and reopen the search process, we were interested in the hiring experiences and practices of other health education programs.  \nAn Internet search of “faculty and hiring” produced numerous hits from various colleges and universities outlining their hiring policies and procedures (University of Maine, 2000; University of Washington, 2003). Most of these sites were general sites that focused on hiring practices for the entire university. Some sites, however, were content area specific (Brunn, 1990). Several sites discussed the need to increase diversity among faculty and contained plans or  \ninitiatives to do so (Georgia State University, 1997; University of Wisconsin, 2002) . No specific sites were found related to the challenges involved in hiring health promotion/education faculty nor the specific hiring policies or practices used by health education departments. Three journal articles were found that specifically  \nLiliana Rojas-Guyler, PhD, CHES; Keith A. King, PhD, CHES; and Randall Cottrell, EdD, CHES are with the Health Promotion and Education at the University of Cincinnati, ML 002, PO Box 210002, Cincinnati, OH 45221-0002; E-mail: [liliana.guyler@uc.edu](liliana.guyler@uc.edu).  \n 272 American Journal of Health Education—September/October 2004, Volume 35, No. 5   \nLiliana Rojas-Guyler, Keith A. King, and Randall Cottrell  \nmentioned faculty hiring and health education. The first article provided information on how to build a strong health and human performance program within an academic setting (Zauner, 1998). As part of this discussion a brief section was presented on seeking and retaining the best faculty and staff.
