Readings are drawn from a wide range of theoretical, narrative, poetic, and historical works. In the Spring semester, Honors sophomores conclude their required Honors coursework with the Honors Practicum, in which they design an individual or small-group learning project which includes an experiential and a research component, both of which are tailored to the student's personal and academic interests. Each student works with a faculty adviser of her own choice. Honors electives fulfill specific requirements in the civilization section of Hood's Core Curriculum. You may also elect to study abroad.
Study abroad counts as one honors elective.
A highpoint of the Honors Program is the senior seminar. You and your classmates will choose a topic of social, political, historical, or international significance that you'll investigate together. You'll also choose the faculty member who teaches your seminar.
