lecture courses given by members of the faculty
There are other verbs which could be used instead of given, such as "taught", "designed", "prepared" - but I think that all of those things are done, by definition of what a university faculty member does, and are subsumed under "given".
I'm trying to think of how to shorten this, but haven't yet succeeded without losing the sense or its sounding strange.

Yes, I was worried about that. "Given" would work if you were talking about the U.S. university system, because even a lowly "Associate Professor" or "Lecturer" is supposed to conceptualize their own lectures, based on the guidelines of the curriculum concerning what concepts, methods and other areas must be covered in the course.
In a system where, as you describe, a mere lecturer must follow a curriculum in great detail and is not really composing the course himself, then you could distinguish from that an "авторский" course by using one of the other verbs I listed: "designed". Or, "developed" - "lecture courses developed and given by members of the faculty". Ai-yi-yi - I was trying to shorten this, but I just made it longer for you!

(Cx., though not relevant to answer: I meant lowly "Assistant Professor"; "Associate Prof" is higher.)

Reply to asker, re: "instructor-designed lecture courses".
I guess if you think you absolutely must put it in a heading-sized phrase, you could use that. To me, it sounds quite unnatural, because the question springs to mind: well, who else would be designing a lecture course, if not the instructor? But, as we discussed already, that's a matter of different реалии. ... Another minus for that formulation is that "renowned lecturers" would not normally be called merely "instructors".
I don't know what kind of text you have. If it's a description of what is allowed under some legal regulations, then I don't see why you can't write it out in nice, smooth prose: "Institutions of higher education have the right [are authorized] to teach the socioeconomic disciplines and other areas of the humanities through lecture courses developed by their own faculties, as well as various types of group and individual practical training programs, assignments and seminars."
(In this rare case, семинар can probably be "seminar" and not "workshop".)

Note from asker:
| yes, rachel thank you but авторские лекции do not only mean that the lectures are delivered by the faculty members it also means that they design the course themselves based on the school's curriculum. usually this right is given to renowned lecturers otherwise all lecturers must follow the curriculum contents and textbooks. |
| what about instructor-designed/written lecture course? |
| thank you, i like the way you wrote it. and thank you for explaining why instructor-designed wording would be a less preferred choice. |

Кмк, (я согласна со Станиславом), речь идёт просто об индивидуальных разработках, оригинальных лекциях. Предложение очень общее, перечисляющее виды обучения. Мне кажется, что Вы пытаетесь подчеркнуть своим переводом то, чего нет в оригинале. :)

Note from asker:
| to fairvega... ahm not necessarily, i think. say if they were designed by one lecturer and delivered by his/her colleague, they can still be called original lectures because they are original as in unique. |
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
Shelley Fairweather-Vega
: To me, this does indeed indicate the lectures were written by the person delivering them.

Discussion
I think of this in terms of multiple authors (unless you use the variant with the singular author and the apostrophe)—not necessarily writers of fiction. In this case, it appears we have experts on the history and culture of San Diego.
