The professorial body has to be identified with the institution. Professors must have exceptional ethical and moral values, as well as a strong commitment.
All of the professors of an accredited degree must be trained in teaching methods for universities.
Professors need to promote ethical and moral values in their students that reflect on their skill acquisition, dexterity and proficiency of the discipline itself.
