Join the Honors Faculty

KSU Journey Honors College invites inquiries from all interested KSU faculty to teach in the Honors College. Opportunities include:

  • teaching an honors section of a general education course
  • supervising a student in your class on an Honors contract
  • teaching a three-credit special topics Honors Interdisciplinary Seminars (HON 3301)
  • teaching a one-credit Honors Colloquium (HON 3000), that typically meets once a week or every other week
  • teaching a five-week Honors Discovery course (HON 2400)

All honors courses feature small class sizes and opportunities for faculty to involve students in collaborative, creative, experiential or interdisciplinary work that may not be possible in larger classes. We have a particular need for special topics courses. These enable faculty to focus on an area that is of special interest to them.

Course Proposal Information

Faculty who have not taught a KSU Honors course who wish to be considered for Honors teaching, or experienced Honors faculty who wish to propose a new course not previously taught should complete the Course Proposal Form. 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.
