The Honors core is made up of both Honors classes and Honors requirements.
Requirements are courses available to the general student body.
Honors classes are courses reserved for Honors students and make up about half of the Honors core curriculum and about fifteen percent of an Honors student's total coursework. 193 explore a range of literary genres, including the novel, and write a series of essays. This course provides a broad overview of basic intellectual concepts and their historical context. After a discussion of basic communication elements and concepts, the course focuses on how we perceive and respond to the rhetorical situation - how words are used to challenge and change society. Speaking in public is the structured sharing of ideas that is open to all - the primary communication vehicle to bring about change.
