Each fall and spring, several Honors students are selected to study for one semester under the unique tutorial system at prestigious Oxford University in England.
Students design their own courses in conjunction with their Oxford faculty tutors.
Contact Dr. Richard Piper, Honors Director, for more information. The travel portion of the class takes place at the end of the spring semester. Tuition scholarships are available on a competitive basis. The basic ecological principles of tropical ecosystems and the natural history of the organisms that live there will be studied, and conservation programs and sustainable development practices will be examined. The inception and development of psychology as a social science will be covered, including the contributions of Fechner, Wundt and Freud.
