Get Involved with Honors: Opportunities for Faculty

The Keeping Sights Upward Journey Honors College invites inquiries from all interested KSU faculty who want to teach or engage with Honors students. All Honors courses feature small class sizes and provide opportunities for faculty to involve students in collaborative, creative, experiential, or interdisciplinary work that may not be possible in larger classes.

We especially welcome proposals for Honors Discovery courses, which allow faculty to focus on an area that is of special interest to them.

 

Opportunities to Teach with Honors

Faculty may participate in the Honors College in several ways:

  • Teach an honors section of a general education course
  • Supervise a student in your class on an Honors contract
  • Teach a five-week Honors Discovery course (HON 2400)
  • Apply to serve as an Honors Faculty Fellow or Honors Lecturer (applications open annually)

 

These experiences enrich both faculty teaching portfolios and student learning journeys across disciplines.

 

Additional Opportunities

Additional faculty opportunities will be added below as they become available.

Course Proposal Information

As a general guideline, proposals to teach an honors course in Summer or Fall semester should be returned by the first day of classes of the prior Spring term. Proposals to teach an honors course in Spring semester should be returned by the first day of class of the prior Fall semester. Decisions about course offerings will be based on focus of the proposal, program needs and enrollment projections, and instructor qualifications. Priority will be given to full-time faculty with a track record of teaching excellence. All honors faculty must have support of their department chairs.
