The core academic component of these programs, along with the opportunity to take honors sections of regular courses through the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Honors Initiative, is a series of small interdisciplinary seminars intended primarily for first and second year honors students. Teaching a college honors seminar gives you the opportunity to explore interdisciplinary concepts with the most academically outstanding and motivated students at Rutgers. Faculty members who have taught in the program extol the experience, not only because of the gifted, enthusiastic students they encounter in the seminar setting, but also because of the academic freedom afforded by the interdisciplinary nature of the courses. If you are interested in submitting a proposal for consideration by the committee of directors, please fill out the form at this link and send it to the Rutgers College General Honors Program Office. Though your proposal in no way commits you to teaching a seminar, you should advise your department that you have submitted a proposal for an honors seminar.
Limited funding is available for departmental release.
We thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to receiving your proposal. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
