Where I am they pay about $1200 per credit hour with no
benefits. For someone in my area (Physics/Engineering) with an
advanced degree that is laughable compensation. Obviously most
adjunct faculty don't do it for the benefits. It will vary by
state and even by area within the state. Here it is a set rate
determined by the local group of colleges. If you can get a
post as a full time associate professor the pay is a bit better
and the benefits are pretty good. It's really hard to get a
full time job at the community colleges here in my area. They
try to staff with adjuncts as much as possible. It's much less
expensive and more flexible.
