The Three-Year Honors College Plan
During each semester of the first three years, Honors Scholars concurrently enroll in three Honors College courses — a lecture course, a writing seminar, which both meet once a week, and a twice-weekly discussion seminar. These three courses together comprise a single, seven-credit-hour Honors College class. In the fall semester of the first year, for example, Honors College students enroll in the following three Honors College courses: HNRS 1710, 1020 and 1030.
The Special Topics courses in the fourth, optional, year are electives on different topics. The Senior Thesis during the fourth year is also an elective, and it can either be a one- or two-semester project.
The Honors College also offers two-week study abroad courses to various locations in Europe. These are open to any Honors College student in good standing. *Due to the current coronavirus pandemic, all Honors College study-abroad opportunities are on hold. We will offer study-abroad opportunities in the future when the university deems that students and faculty can safely resume international travel. Unfortunately, there is currently no definite timeline for when that will be.*
