Three Types of Honors Courses

1. General Education Requirements
   In the first two years, Honors courses are designed to fulfill requirements in the General Education Program.  These courses are generally taken in the freshman and sophomore years.  Subjects such as  World Civilizations (History 103 and 104), Foundations in Writing (English 103 and 104), World Literature (English 233 and 234)  and Communications (Communications 101) are the principle courses taken in this category.

2. Seminar Courses
   These courses change from semester to semester, and vary from 1 to 3 credits.  Seminar courses are generally small (10-15 students) and involve discussion and interaction. Topics for these courses cover all areas of study and are interdisciplinary in their approach. Examples of some recent courses are; Animal Rights (Philosophy), Model UN (Political Science), Astronomy (Science) and Films and American culture (Theater).

3. Credit by Contract
   These courses are arranged between the Honors Student and a cooperating teacher and overseen by the Honors Director
