The Honors College solicits proposals from faculty members across the 无码强奸 campus to offer honors classes for the upcoming academic year.
The conversation usually begins between a faculty member and a member of the Honors College teaching staff (Dean, Executive Director, Core Faculty, or permanent Honors Faculty). This meeting can help generate ideas for future honors courses and provide a faculty member with the current needs of the college. Next, the faculty member should meet with a representative of the Honors College Dean鈥檚 office to discuss how a proposed course might fit within the curriculum and the semester-by-semester schedule for the college. Following this conversation, a faculty/staff member from the Honors College reaches out to the chair or director of the department or program where the faculty member teaches to discuss opportunities for that faculty member to teach in the Honors College and how that might impact the department or program. Finally, the Honors College works with the faculty member in conjunction with the department or program in order to fit a proposed course within the Honors College schedule that works best with the department or program.
To propose a course, contact Jen Cellio, Interim Executive Director of the Honors College.
