A highly personalized mentoring model and an innovative curriculum are hallmarks of the Honors College experience. The Faculty Fellows Program was established to provide each CofC Honors student with a four-year faculty advisor and to develop new Honors course options from a variety of disciplines. The Faculty Fellows Program is a key component of the revised Honors College curriculum, which allows for a greater variety of academic departments and faculty members to propose Honors courses.
Each new faculty fellow will teach one Honors course per year that is centered on the theme and will also mentor and advise a group of Honors students. The cohort will teach Honors courses for three academic years and advise for four years so that they can see their group of advisees through to graduation.
