HSP students choose the outstanding teachers, who receive monetary awards. These stipends come from the Humanities Seminars Endowment for Superior Teaching established in 1985 by founders of the program. This year’s awards bring to $263,000 the total payments to the University of Arizona Faculty from this endowment.
Since 1984 the University of Arizona’s Humanities Seminars Program has been offering the highest-quality courses in letters, arts, and sciences designed specifically for adult students. All courses are taught by present and former University of Arizona professors selected for their scholarly accomplishments and exceptional teaching abilities.
