Courses Offered

Honors courses are designed to be thorough, rigorous, and, in some cases, unique offerings specially designed for Honors students. In many Honors courses a seminar format is used to encourage critical, creative thinking in a more personalized atmosphere.

All Honors courses are designated as Honors on a student’s transcript, so graduate schools and employers can easily determine the extent of each student’s academic involvement in the program.

The following courses are offered regularly.

HONORS 100, 200, 300, 400 SUMMER READING (1-3 credits)(F). An opportunity for students to continue their studies during the summer when they are away from campus and faculty. Students must select their area of interest, contact a faculty supervisor and coordinate through the Honors College Director concerning testing and credit for the work prior to the end of the spring semester. Students will register during fall registration and will complete written and oral testing as required no later than October 15 in order to receive a letter grade.

HONORS 198, 298, 398, 498 HONORS SEMINAR (1 credit)(F/S). Group discussion of issues built around a specific theme/s. Because themes change from semester to semester, seminar may be repeated.

HONORS 391 PROSPECTUS PREPARATION FOR SENIOR HONORS PROJECT (1 credit)(F/S). The student will prepare a prospectus for the Senior Honors Project, consisting of three parts: a description of the proposed project, a preliminary bibliography, and a topical or procedural outline.

HONORS 392 HONORS COLLOQUIUM (3 credits)(F/S). Interdisciplinary studies of selected topics. Because the topics change from semester to semester, colloquium may be repeated. Consult current Schedule of Classes for specific topics offered each semester.

HONORS 491 SENIOR HONORS PROJECT (3 credits)(F/S). A Senior Honors Project is required of all students wishing to graduate with the designation Honors Scholar. Such a project will be the result of significant individual effort by the student, with appropriate faculty supervision. The project may involve library, laboratory, or field work; or a creative activity if appropriate to the discipline as determined by the department involved and the Director of the Honors College.
