Call for 2023-24 Honors College Seminar Faculty Proposals 

Is there a course you have always wanted to create but never had the opportunity to do so? If so, the Honors College invites you to submit a proposal for an Honors seminar for the 2023-2024 academic year.  Honors seminars are limited to 18-20 students, require an interdisciplinary perspective, and must be highly topical. Our experience has demonstrated that departments directly benefit when faculty teach an Honors seminar. Students frequently migrate to that same department as a result of engaging a professor in such a unique setting. Please contact the Honors College at [email protected] for details of propsal submission or to obtain an example of a successful submission.

Timetable for the selection process:  

  • Receipt of proposals in the Honors College no later than January 16, 2023.
  • Committee will review proposals by February 4, 2023.
  • Short list interviews conducted February 14, 2023.
  • Faculty notification by March 7, 2023.
