Faculty

In addition to providing students with an academic challenge, Signature Courses provide faculty with freedom in teaching. Courses may be about any subject within a faculty member’s expertise, so long as it fulfills the School of Undergraduate Studies’ six requirements.

Eligible Faculty

Signature Courses are taught by distinguished faculty from every college and school at the university. The program calls for regular faculty in the hope that that incoming students will come to know faculty with whom they may wish to work in later years. (Regular faculty include tenured and tenure-track professors, as well as senior lecturers and, in special cases, adjunct or emeriti professors.)

Six Requirements

Though Signature Courses vary greatly by topic, there are six requirements uniting every course. For a complete list go to our six requirements page.
