Continuity and Innovation in Honors College Curricula is the second volume in the edited series Honors Education in Transition, which examines the proliferation of honors programs and colleges in American higher education. While honors education has become ubiquitous in American higher education, this transformation has happened without systematic attempts to align what honors means across institutions, and absent a universally agreed upon definitions of what honors is and what it might aspire to be in the future. This generates possibility and flexibility, while also creating rather serious challenges.

This book examines dynamic attempts to think creatively about curriculum, a hallmark of honors in higher education. The authors document and discuss innovative attempts ranging from service-learning to international education to innovative ways to blend disciplinary models of pedagogy with honors teaching. Throughout, their investigations are grounded in the present while turning a keen and perceptive eye to the future.

Robert W. Glover is an Assistant Professor of Honors and Political Science at the University of Maine. His research focuses on democratic engagement, public policy, and the scholarship of teaching and learning. Katherine M. O’Flaherty is Honors Faculty Fellow in Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University. She is an historian who currently researches student engagement and pedagogy and assessment in higher education.
