The University Honors Program provides enriching and intellectually stimulating classes, at no additional cost, for academically talented students who are interested in participating. The program is open to any eligible student in any academic discipline.
Most honors classes satisfy general education requirements for all students.
Though some honors courses are regularly offered, the list of honors course offerings changes each term. Honors classes are small and taught by professors with high academic standards who are particularly interested in working with highly motivated students. Most honors courses are interdisciplinary, that is, the content is approached from the perspective of at least two different disciplines. Because the classes are small, there is more responsibility placed on the individual student and more individual attention given to each student. There is also a consistent emphasis on the development of critical thinking and communication skills.
