The University invites qualified students in each of its colleges to participate in a comprehensive honors program designed to foster high intellectual development and achievement. Other students may be recommended or express interest on their own at later points in their undergraduate careers.
Honors seminars on interdisciplinary subjects are open to honors students.
Honors and standard sections of courses are usually equivalent in terms of satisfying degree requirements and are distinguished by course number. An updated list of offerings is available in the honors program office and in the registrar's course listings. There is another type of honors course, a standard course to which an adjunct course is attached. These adjuncts, numbered 1777 or 1778, supplement the standard course. The honors program also sponsors extracurriular cultural and recreational activities.
