More than 60 faculty and staff from across campus are engaged in Honors each semester. Honors-affiliated faculty and staff work individually and in collaboration with their colleges to increase student opportunities across campus and lead students to do more meaningful work. Are you wondering how or why to get involved?
For more information, visit wichita.edu/honorsfacultyresources.
Honors-affiliated faculty and staff serve students across campus in many ways:
- Design and teach one, two or three credit honors college seminars or department honors courses
- Coordinate interdisciplinary and disciplinary honors curricula
- Mentor honors option agreements in existing courses
- Advise an Honors Baccalaureate student thesis
- Develop high-impact practices as an honors faculty fellow
- Engage in one of the faculty-led research programs open to all WSU undergraduates: the undergraduate research and creative activity grants program or First-year Research Experience program (FYRE)
- Visit the NCHC website for information about the national honors community, and find opportunities for professional development and publication in the NCHC newsletter

Departmental honors courses: Departments may offer an honors (H- suffix) section of any existing department course by adding a cross-listed course through the Course Information Management system (CIM). Once approved by the department and honors, these courses are scheduled and supported by the department. Department chairs are welcome to contact the dean of the Cohen Honors College or their college representative to the Honors Faculty Council with any questions.
