Honors Class Proposals
All instructors (full and part time) are eligible to teach Honors classes under the direction of the Honors Program Director and the Area Lead. Any Gen Ed class is open to be taught as an Honors class; agreements can enable honors projects in non-Gen Ed classes, which would be helpful to our AAS students. Honors classes should need to demonstrate either internal enrichment in terms of content OR external enrichment in terms of community outreach.
If faculty/instructor wishes to have an honors contract subsection or class, they would submit a form (online) with the following information:
- The class title
- The number of students in the class section or subsection
- Times/Dates of the proposed class/subsection, with any concurrent non-Honors classes
- The pre-requisites for the class (this can include college pre-requisite courses, minimum test scores or high school GPAs, and other criteria defined by the professor themselves)
- A 150-250 word abstract that would describe the class experience and how it would qualify as an honors experience through internal and external class activities.
The faculty/instructor would coordinate this with the Honors Program Lead and their Area Lead in order to ensure fulfillment of requirements for both the Area and the Honors Program. The abstract would also be posted on the Honors Program website and included in a student’s honors agreement or as a syllabus supplement to indicate the expectations of the class.
