One of the best ways to do this is to make connections with people. They should get to know instructorsasking questions and engaging them in conversations about the material covered in class. Finally, the First-Year Seminars classes that normally have fewer than 25 students and are taught by senior faculty, give students a chance to participate actively in discussion with faculty and other students. Depending on the test results, your student may receive college credit. My student is thinking about taking college credits over the summer before school starts.
Some students choose to take summer courses before they arrive on campus.
We encourage students to take advantage of the wonderful opportunities afforded them through other units on campus. Students should talk with their academic advisor about exploring this option. Most concentrations require 28-32 credits. Students are admitted into the Honors Program by invitation of the Director, though inquiries are welcomed from any highly motivated student.
