Teaching Opportunities
Do you want to teach especially bright, interesting, and dedicated undergraduates? Have you ever wondered how to get the opportunity to offer an Honors course, either in your department or in an interdisciplinary approach? Here's how to access these opportunities.
Faculty who teach Honors courses find it an enormously satisfying assignment. Our students, too, rate Honors courses as among the best parts of their UM experience and often credit these courses with introducing them to disciplines they might not otherwise ever have explored. Our goal in offering these courses is to build a varied and exciting curriculum that brings some of our most motivated students and faculty together for intensive conversations that can have a lasting effect on both.
We would be more than happy to discuss any questions you might have or to discuss any aspect of the LSA Honors Program--including various other ways interested faculty can get involved. Call our office (734.764.6274) for an appointment with the Honors Director, or with the Associate Director, Donna Wessel Walker.
