Information for Honors Faculty

AUM faculty members are invited to submit a proposal to teach an Honors course. Resources that may be helpful include this description of the Honors curriculum, these guidelines on teaching an HONR course, and the Honors course proposal form.

Faculty are designated as Honors faculty for three years beginning in the semester in which they teach an Honors course.

UHP learning outcomes are adapted from the Association of American Colleges and Universities VALUE rubrics.
