Call for Proposals: Honors Elective Courses
You've heard it all before:
"The Honors Program is elitist."
"Only a chosen few ever get to teach in Honors."
"I'd like to teach in Honors, but I don't know how to apply."
Now is your chance to help us change that perception! The Honors Programs needs electives to meet the needs of our students. We're looking for interesting courses that might be offered multiple times, on a regular basis -- no need to worry about one-off course design. A fully developed syllabus is not needed at this point. We just need some really good ideas.
Please submit your concept proposals, for possible offering in the fall 2016 or spring 2017, by October 30th, to:
honors@augsburg.edu
More details and the application form are available at:
