Honors Courses

SPRING 2027 Honors Courses

Note: ANY interested student may enroll in Honors Courses regardless of your GPA, if you are prepared to do so! (One exception: the Honors Seminar requires a 3.2+ GPA)

What makes an Honors section different from a regular section? Honors courses are NOT defined as “more work” or “harder.” They are DIFFERENT! Honors courses ask students to work on individual projects and present them to the class as part of the class learning experience. They also include an experiential component, such as a field trip, or they may invite guest lecturers to the classroom. Honors courses are small and seminar-style discussions are encouraged. Any student can be an Honors student!
