The Honors Program can only thrive through the involvement of faculty who are dedicated to designing unique, intellectually stimulating courses and who identify with the mission of the Program. We encourage interested faculty to contact the office to discuss Honors teaching opportunities and/or to download and complete the course proposal packet.
Because Honors courses allow faculty members the opportunity to try out new pedagogical methods, or to specialize in their own areas of scholarly interest, instructors often report being invigorated as a result of teaching these courses. They also enjoy interacting one-on-one with highly motivated students in small classes. Simply put, Honors courses can provide faculty with some of their most rewarding teaching experiences at ACC.
The Honors Program invites faculty to make proposals for courses each academic year. We will evaluate and accept proposals based on the evolving needs of the program. Please contact Dr. Anne-Marie Thomas with questions about the proposal process: [email protected]
