The following is being sent on behalf of Madeleine Sorapure, Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education
********************************************************************************
Dear Faculty,
I’m writing to solicit faculty offerings of lower-division Honors Seminars in the L&S Honors Program, for Fall 2025.
Honors seminars are INT 84 courses which are taught above the (Academic Senate) faculty’s regular workload. Faculty teaching Honors Seminars will receive $3,300 in research funds, and for course support, supplies and expenses associated with the seminar.
Seminar topics may introduce a particular discipline, explore an area of professional interest, or provide important insight on a matter of contemporary concern. These 2-unit courses meet 20 hours a quarter. Classes can be on campus and classroom-based, or field-trip or field-work based. The maximum enrollment for Honors Seminars is 20 students.
For Fall, the deadline will be Wednesday April 16th. Proposals received after this deadline and into the Summer will be considered if funding allows.
Proposal Application:
https://forms.gle/HHhb4PsQUfUZCVxi7
If you have any questions, feel free to write back to me directly at sorapure@ucsb.edu.
Best,
Madeleine
