Honors Course Development Procedures

Faculty wishing to develop an honors course should follow the procedural path outlined below.

1. A Palm Beach State faculty member will present a request to the Honors Advisory Council for a specific course to be developed as an honors course. If it is decided that the course fits into the honors curriculum and fulfills goals and priorities set for the program, approval for course development will be given.
2. The Palm Beach State faculty member will take the proposal to the discipline cluster and resolve all issues related to the honors version of the course.
3. Once the cluster has affirmatively voted on the course proposal, the matter will return to the Honors Advisory Council. Only that portion of the proposal which deals with honors pedagogy will be considered. After discussion, the Honors Advisory Council will vote on the proposal.
4. Once approved by the Honors Advisory Council, the course will go to Curriculum Committee. Both votes – from cluster and the Board – will be reported to the Curriculum Committee.
