Each course gives students in-depth opportunities to put theory into practice in research, writing, or electronic production. The Honors Program allows qualified students the opportunity to enrich their experiences in communication theory, history, and practices. Honors students must participate in a faculty-student colloquium which usually meets once each semester, and produce an original research or production project which they will present to the faculty and their peers in a colloquium setting. They will also have opportunities to participate in a program of periodic lectures and field trips. To qualify, students must maintain at least a 3.5 Grade Point Average in the major, and a 3.3 Grade Point Average overall.
Applications are subject to faculty review.
Interested students should contact the Director of the Honors Program regarding application procedure and deadlines. The department regularly offers writing intensive courses. Normally at least two writing intensive courses are rostered each semester.
