Honors Instructor: General Seminar Position

The Honors Program at Colorado State University invites applications for part-time instructors to teach interdisciplinary Honors seminars. These seminars are a cornerstone of the Honors curriculum and give students the opportunity to explore complex questions through multiple disciplinary lenses. Each seminar is built around a faculty-proposed topic and emphasizes critical inquiry, integrative thinking, and discussion-based learning. While course content varies, all seminars challenge students to examine how knowledge is shaped across disciplines and how diverse perspectives deepen understanding. Class sizes range from 19–22 students, offering an ideal environment for collaborative dialogue, intellectual risk-taking, and meaningful faculty-student engagement. Honors seminars are a key component of the Honors Core Curriculum and may fulfill a range of All-University Core Curriculum (AUCC) requirements, including Written Communication, Arts and Humanities, Historical Perspectives, Social and Behavioral Sciences, and Global and Cultural Awareness. Faculty work in collaboration with Honors leadership to ensure that their courses align with both AUCC outcomes and the broader goals of the Honors Program. Support is provided throughout the design process to help instructors create courses that are both deeply personal in focus and broadly integrative in structure.
