Course Design Institute
Overview
This year’s Course Design Institute is scheduled for May 12-16 (Monday-Friday) from 9-5. The application period for this year’s institute has closed. Dates for next year’s Course Design Institute will be announced Spring 2026.
The CAT hosts a week long, intensive course design program (usually in the summer) for faculty interested in designing or redesigning a course. The institute typically runs a full 5 days, Monday-Friday (with working time and lunch provided) and requires the completion of homework between each session. You will have the opportunity to work together with colleagues from across the University.
The institute is designed to get you to a final (or near final) course design and syllabus by the end of the week. Participants who successfully complete all Institute requirements will receive a $1,500 stipend.
We ask that you apply only if you are able to commit to the entire week. Application information will be posted once we have selected dates.
If you have questions, feel free to email Kristi Verbeke (verbekkj@wfu.edu).
