There are no extra courses required. Honors freshman and sophomore courses fit into the Core, the Honors colloquia fit into elective hours, and the Honors course contracts and Capstone Project fit into majors' hours. Honors credit can be earned through study abroad and through collaborative learning.
Social events are free or inexpensive.
Elitism is discouraged. Honors Program participation is available to qualified students in any major. The Honors Program is not a department but a university-wide program of degree enhancement for academically strong students. Students may earn Honors Program distinction in any degree. Honors versions of selected core courses encourage the breadth and flexibility important in a changing world and unpredictable job market.
