The courses in this Program are designed to establish inter-disciplinary connections and cover nontraditional topics in nontraditional ways. Further, this Program provides a peer group and a directed, novel experience for the intellectually-advanced student.
Some Honors courses require students to travel.
The courses in the Honors Program are planned to be intellectually challenging and to permit maximum levels of achievement in the integration of knowledge, the development of research and writing skills, and interaction between students and faculty. Each course will carry four credits, for a total of 12 in this phase of the program. There will be one offering each from the Humanities, Science, and Social Science Divisions. Courses will be designed to show how someone in each of the academic disciplines would approach the same issues or themes thus helping students to integrate modes of thinking across disciplines. The time slot will be fixed, a consistent day or evening slot, for each term.
