Adjunct HSEM Instructor

About the role

The University Honors Program seeks instructors to teach Honors Seminar courses. Teaching an honors seminar is a unique opportunity to work with fully-engaged, high-ability students in an interactive environment. Each year, we offer around 40 honors seminars from faculty across the University addressing the technical, economic, societal, cultural and ethical aspects of the many challenges facing our society in the 21st century.

Seminars are offered for two or three credits, are open to students from all disciplines (typically lack specific course prerequisites), and have enrollments limited to 19 students. 2xxx-level seminars are designed to be introductory and yet comprehensive courses focused on innovative ideas and topical issues. 3xxx-level seminars may address more complex themes through advanced reading, writing, and critical thinking.

An approved Honors Seminar Proposal must be submitted by November 1st for the following academic year (applications are accepted via z.umn.edu/hsemproposal beginning in August of each year).
