Honors Courses

University Honors courses labeled in the catalogue as HON XXXX are the heart of our program.  These classes are the result of asking faculty, what do you want to teach?  Each University Honors course is unique and the faculty are teaching these subjects by choice.  All new faculty are interviewed to determine if their courses meet our standards for an honors class.  These classes are usually limited to 17 students and are seminar style classes which allow for discussion and interaction in the classroom.  Classes are writing-intensive and our inventory of courses changes every semester, although many old favorites are repeated at least once every year or so.

In our listings of past and current courses, we have also listed the substitutions that can be used to fulfill other graduation requirements.  So with careful planning, honors courses are not adding extra hours to a student's degree plan.
