Note(s):


1 These courses will count towards the Core, but will not count towards the minimum number of Honors credit (24) required by the Honors Program for Honors recognition. Other language study may be considered (See Honors Program Director).
2 Departmental CAPSTONE Courses may be acceptable (See Honors Program Director).
3 Non-Honors Program students of sophomore status or higher and who have obtained at least a 3.5 GPA may elect these courses if space is available.
4 The Honors Option (which requires approval by faculty, department, and the Honors Program Director) will result in an “H” designation for existing courses when satisfactorily completed.
5 300 level courses may be considered if approved by the faculty advisor, department or division chair, and the Honors Program Director.
6 These courses facilitate the engagement of students and faculty in the deep learning required for the creation, practice, and sharing of knowledge or works in their area of professional study. Enrollment in the course is competitive and requires that collaborating students and faculty submit a project proposal. See FSC Program, Section II.
7 With the permission of the Honors Program Director, Honors students can apply internship credit in any field towards the Honors Program if the internship meets at least two of the Honors Program goals, one of which has to be “to foster civic involvement.”
