Honors Seminars

Honors Seminars fulfill part of the general education curriculum of the University. Taught by faculty across the University, Honors Seminars are small, interdisciplinary, discussion-oriented classes. The small class size allows faculty to stimulate, challenge, and intellectually stretch highly capable students to perform at their highest level.

Examples of Honors Seminars:

• The Scholar: Biography and Portraiture
• The World: Issues and Independence
• The Varieties of Religious Experience: World Views and Practices of the Great Religions
• Self, Community, and Service: Ethical Theory and Practice
• Global Health Issues
• Community Leadership: A Global Perspective
• Natural Disasters: Societal and Individual Reactions to Risk
• City as Text (a yearly international travel/study opportunity)
