Background and Purpose: The purpose of Minot State University’s Faculty Sabbatical Program is to renew and embolden our faculty members as teachers and scholars. The award of a sabbatical is a privilege predicated on the faculty member’s record of positive contribution to the university. The granting of faculty sabbaticals is competitive and will be evaluated against clear criteria.
- Sabbatical program application forms are located on the Sabbatical Committee page.
- For more information see, Article VII—MSU Faculty Sabbatical Program in Appendix B: Bylaws of the Faculty Senate.
