HONORS SEMINAR ARCHIVE

Honors seminars typically feature interdisciplinary approaches, focus on original materials rather than textbooks, call for independent research, and offer leadership opportunities — all of which facilitate strong higher-order critical thinking and communication. The result is a vibrant intellectual community that prepares students for the next steps: to excel in their majors and gain enrichment experiences such as research opportunities and internships; pursue Departmental Honors; and embark on exceptional careers or be accepted into top graduate, law or medical schools.

The following archive provides a list and course description of all the seminars offered over the past decade.
