Honors colloquia are offered by a number of departments, with new colloquia developed each year. Approximately forty colloquia are offered during a student's time at Ball State. The student selects a professor with whom he or she would like to work. The thesis or project is usually within the major or minor, but this is not a requirement. The Dean or Assistant Dean are happy to meet individually with students to discuss their ideas for Honors 499 and to advise them about selection of faculty mentors.
Credit counts for majors, minors, or electives.
Honors faculty have been selected to teach these classes by the Dean of the Honors College in collaboration with the appropriate departmental chair. As is true in all Honors classes, students are asked to evaluate these sections each semester to help guarantee continued improvement and excellence.
