There are many different units within the Pennoni Honors College which offer a range and depth of offerings unique among Honors Colleges in the country.

Job Summary

The Pennoni Honors College invites applications for adjunct faculty positions to teach in the Honors Program in the  Academic Year. Available Honors courses include Honors Colloquia and Seminar courses which are customizable to the candidate's degree field and area of expertise. The Honors Program aims to offer courses in a wide variety of subject focus areas and, as such, we invite candidates of all industry areas to apply.

* Honors Colloquia are three credit courses which give students the opportunity to expand their learning beyond the scope of their majors through unique cross-disciplinary topics. These courses are developed to expand knowledge outside of a student's field of study.

* Honors Seminars, including our Great Works series, are one credit courses designed for an in-depth exploration, reading, discussion over the course of a term in a small group setting.

All Honors classes are small, discussion-based courses that are often cross-disciplinary in nature and unique offerings not offered elsewhere at the University. We encourage you to explore some of our past course offerings to get a better understanding of the courses we aim to offer.

If hired, adjunct faculty members will employ a variety of strategies to foster student learning and discussion, as well as encourage active learning in all students. Honors Program faculty are expected to maintain proper course-related records, evaluate student work, and provide student with timely feedback as to the progress toward meeting the objectives of the course. Each adjunct faculty member is responsible for effectively teaching students in the assigned classroom or online setting.
