Curriculum For The Curious
The Honors curriculum is designed to educate and inspire students to continue on a path of lifelong learning. From using Shakespeare to investigate artificial intelligence to performing experimental musical compositions, your Honors courses will challenge your assumption of what a college course can be.
Types of Courses
Our courses, with an average class size of 16, typically fall into one of two categories –– Honors versions of regular courses and our “cool” courses. The Honors version of regular courses can be anything from foundational courses like English 101 and organic chemistry to higher-level courses like commercial law and semiconductor optoelectronics. Our “cool” courses are developed by leading faculty specifically for the Honors College, and often take a creative approach to both subject matter and course instruction.
