HONORS COURSES

The Honors academic program combines small classes taught by exceptional faculty with the wide range of additional education opportunities offered by a large research institution.

Beginning their first semester at the University, Honors students enjoy the advantage of innovative learning experiences that are designed to engage their participation, broaden their intellectual horizons, and develop and sharpen their academic skills.

The main academic program consists of: (1) Honors 100 (2) Honors Seminars, and (3) H-Version courses offered by academic departments. Honors Seminars and H-Versions are an excellent way to satisfy graduation requirements: these classes count towards general education/distribution requirements (CORE) and/or the student's major. Thus, Honors students do not take additional courses; they take Honors courses instead of other classes.
