The core of the University Honors Program is a series of interdisciplinary and often team taught colloquia, HON 360-362, courses especially designed for the program by outstanding professors. They are meant to be different from traditional courses in that they include more student involvement, active learning, special projects, guest presenters, or off campus experiences.
Students ordinarily take three colloquia to complete honors program requirements.
All students, and particularly those in the education program, are urged to complete colloquia requirements before the senior year. The student spends a semester abroad or at another campus either as an exchange student or on a leave of absence from Eastern. Students electing this option DO NOT , however, get credit for a colloquium or a GER requirement. One colloquium is simply waived. The student serves as an intern in HON 200 or HON 201.
