Abstract

The Problem: - The abilities of faculty do influences on the quality of education that is delivered and the activities offered. Faculty with more than one specialization are more efficient as they can bring separate disciplines around the common problem, theme or issue. This is because they can connect and integrate several professions, school of thought and technologies to purse common tasks (Jones, 2010). However, the faculty selection criteria in Higher Education is yet rigid in term of selecting interdisciplinary faculty members. The members that specialized in two different fields are often neglected because of differences in their academic exposure. This can be due to the fact that faculty that approach interdisciplinary education are isolating themselves from their core field.
