FALL 2026 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 “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!
NEW! Honors Seminar (HON200-HON 7443)
Beyond the Broomstick: Salem’s History and Future Identities
This honors seminar deconstructs the multifaced identity of Salem, Massachusetts–a city that transitioned from a rigid Puritan settlement to the wealthiest seaport in America, and eventually, the “Witch City” of the global imagination. We will investigate how Salem’s history is curated for the modern world, examining everything from maritime globalism and Federal-period architecture to the ethics of “dark tourism” and the rise of modern Wiccan culture. Students will engage with the city as a living laboratory to explore how collective memory is shaped by both trauma and commercialism.
