Our admissions process puts a premium on intellectual breadth, so we expect Schreyer Scholars to have an interest in Honors coursework both within and outside of their major. Scholars have priority registration, which enables them to register early for the courses they want, both honors and non-honors. Penn State students who are not in the SHC, but want to try an Honors course, can probably find a course related to their interests every semester. Some Penn State majors which are relatively small at the undergraduate level, and which, therefore, do not routinely offer upper-division Honors courses, have large graduate programs with many courses that Scholars may take.
