Introductory Seminars (Introsems)
Introductory Seminars integrate explorations into current questions in a field together with training in critical inquiry skills. They are designed to allow students to explore potential areas of interest and to see the shape that more advanced investigations in a field might take.
Bing Overseas Studies Program (BOSP)
Each quarter, one Stanford professor serves as Faculty-in-Residence in each of the BOSP program locations. These faculty teach classes in their own disciplines, often developing courses that incorporate unique features of the local culture and environment, or that provide comparative perspectives on a particular topic.
Introduction to the Humanities (IHUM)
Since 1997, IHUM’s one-quarter interdisciplinary course and two-quarter disciplinary course sequence have combined to create a dynamic year-long curriculum for Stanford freshmen that is unique in American higher education. Opportunities exist for existing faculty interested in lecturing in IHUM as well as for postdocs interested in leading IHUM’s discussion sections.
Writing in the Major (WIM)
Each degree-granting department or program must designate at least one course per year to fulfill the Writing in the Major requirement for its majors. Faculty interested in teaching a WIM course should work with their Chair, Director, or Director of Undergraduate Studies to prepare a WIM course proposal for review by the Writing and Rhetoric Governance Board. The Call for Proposals goes out in February, with proposals due in late March.
September Studies
September Studies consists of three programs, Sophomore College, Arts Intensive, and Bing Honors College. Sophomore College and Arts Intensive offer courses before the beginning of Autumn Quarter, while Bing Honors College provides intensive faculty mentoring for students writing Honors theses. Faculty interested in teaching in Sophomore College or Arts Intensive should write to Marvin Diogenes (marvind@stanford.edu) at the beginning of Autumn Quarter. Departments and programs are invited to develop proposals for Honors College in late January, with a due date in February.
