Our mission is to provide special education opportunities for academically prepared, highly motivated undergraduate students.
We offer small courses - limited to 15 students - which provide students the opportunity to discuss, debate and exchange ideas in a way not usually possible in a large lecture environment. Honors courses nurture a profound respect for the alternative points of view that define the human experience, and students and faculty alike are pushed to examine first principles as well as the fundamental assumptions upon which strongly held beliefs are based.
In an Honors Program class, one can expect to have more discussion, write more papers, have more influence on the syllabus and reading list, do more research and be counted upon by the class for input.
