Professor

Professor

Professor is an academic rank at universities and other post-secondary education and research institutions in most countries. Literally, professor derives from Latin as a 'person who professes'. Professors are usually experts in their field and teachers of the highest rank. In most systems of academic ranks, "professor" as an unqualified title refers only to the most senior academic position, sometimes informally known as "full professor". In some countries and institutions, the word professor is also used in titles of lower ranks such as associate professor and assistant professor. This is particularly the case in the United States, where the unqualified word is also used colloquially to refer to associate and assistant professors, and often to instructors or lecturers, as well. Professors often conduct original research and commonly teach undergraduate, postgraduate, or professional courses in their fields of expertise.
