Required Courses (six total):
Honors Electives:
Each student is required to take two honors electives from among honors-designated courses outside the Honors Program.
The two courses must be in different disciplines.
It is recommended but not required that these courses be taken in the sophomore year, and students may elect to take more than two such courses during their careers.
Since most of the available courses are at the introductory level, students are advised to plan ahead and make certain that appropriate courses will be available if they elect to delay taking them until after the sophomore year.
The director of the Honors Program can help you with your selections.
Honors Capstone:
Each student is required to perform a capstone project after having taken the Honors Seminar. Credit for the Honors Capstone may be earned in HON444 or a departmental Honors Capstone course or another approved departmental capstone course.
Honors Colloquium:
The Honors Colloquium, held once per semester, is an opportunity for students to present the results of their capstone projects to their peers in the program and the community. Attendance at the Honors Colloquium is required for students in HON300 and HON444 (or its equivalent).
Honors Service Project:
All honors students are required to complete a Service Project during the course of their studies.
It is recommended that this happen during the sophomore year. Sophomores present their experiences with the service projects at the Honors Program Coffee House Gatherings, and freshmen can begin to get an idea of what is involved in this component of the Honors Program.
Students are encouraged to get involved in some of the numerous volunteer opportunities at the College through The Reach Out Center.
