Curriculum
Honors Courses
Honors courses are highly interactive, discussion-based, and hands-on courses and are designed to enhance student critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. Honors students have direct interaction with faculty and may be invited to present portions of the course material to classmates. Honors courses might include a field trip or other hands-on learning experiences.
Honors seminars (HONR prefix) are unique courses offered only to students in the Farquhar Honors College. Core courses offered as "Honors sections" address the same learning outcomes as non-Honors sections, incorporate unique instructional methods such as problem-based instruction, have smaller enrollment, and are limited to Honors students.
Honors courses may be used to satisfy degree requirements for the major, general education requirements, and general electives.
