Multiple opportunities to engage with the Dorothy and Bill Cohen Honors College are available to faculty and staff. Now is a good time to consider proposing a new Honors seminar or inquire about teaching an existing seminar. Interested faculty can submit a course proposal through the Course Information Management (CIM) system that includes information about what makes the course an Honors-level experience. Course proposals are routed to the Honors College Faculty Council for review. Instructors whose courses are approved by the council will be asked to confirm college and chair approval and other details related to course scheduling.
Faculty also may use the separate course proposal form to request to teach an existing Honor seminar course topic such as HNRS 352 Survey of Law and Public Policy or HNRS 486 Collaborative Research. For more information about Honors curriculum, visit the undergraduate catalog.
Departmental honors courses: Departments may offer an honors (H-suffix) section of any existing department course by adding a cross-listed course through the CIM system. These courses are reviewed by Honors then scheduled and supported by the department. Department chairs are welcome to contact Kimberly Engber, dean of the Cohen Honors College, with any questions at kimberly.engber@wichita.edu.
