PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

THE HONORS PROGRAM curriculum provides special courses through which students satisfy general education requirements and receive intensified learning and research opportunities in the major.

In the Freshman year, Honors Program students enroll in special courses in the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences that supplant similar general education requirements of the college.

As Sophomores, Honors Program students augment their required courses with directed reading courses in their major.

In the Junior year, Honors Program students continue their independent study and conduct research under the guidance of a faculty mentor in addition to completing requirements of their major.

In their Senior year, students write an honors thesis, which is typically a culmination of their research, and present the thesis to their respective departments and the Honors Program prior to graduation.
