"Temp/Part-Time Faculty, HONORS COLLEGE Academic Year 2025-2026"

The Honors College is seeking temporary/part time faculty for Summer 2025, Fall 2025, Spring 2026, with the ability to teach Honors University Studies courses. Part-time Honors College faculty typically only teach one course a semester, and the College rotates through faculty to diversify offerings.

Honors College courses are designed as seminars that encourage curiosity, critical thinking, faculty-student interaction, and experiential learning, providing a context around students' specific majors. Honors seminars can be taught as either 1- or 3-credit courses.

Honors University Studies Courses:

• HON 110 (3 credits): First-Year Seminar, focused on an interdisciplinary topic designed to introduce all freshman honors students to the college experience by direct involvement in research, service, and leadership activities.
• HON 210/211/212 (3 credits): Interdisciplinary Seminar that offers an in-depth investigation of a special topic using the approaches of several disciplines.
• HON 120/121 (1 credit): Enrichment Seminar that encourages learning beyond the classroom through a more 'hands-on,' direct experience approach (field work, travel, or individual projects).
• HON 191 (1 credit): Introduction to Research and Discovery is an overview of research procedures in discipline areas, including literature searches and data collection, that emphasizes applied learning and the development of basic skills appropriate to the discipline.
• HON 399 (1 credit): A Thesis Preparation Course is designed as a workshop to help students prepare for their thesis experience, understand the value of undergraduate research, and develop a full-fledged proposal of a research project.

Minimum Education and Experience Requirements: Undergraduate course teaching requires a Master's degree with 18 graduate credit hours in the teaching discipline from a regionally accredited institution. Those with equivalent verifiable professional experience, certifications, and licensures in the discipline may also be considered.

The UNCW Honors College offers student-centered seminars to high ability undergraduates. Honors courses are characterized by student-led discussions, creative research projects, deep readings, and applied knowledge. We are particularly interested in individuals whose academic training has equipped them to creatively teach from an interdisciplinary, experiential, and reflective perspective with the intention of cultivating a uniquely rich learning environment.
