Honors-designated courses are searchable in the Registrar’s course schedule each semester, under “Gen Ed/Other Designations.” (Note that a course may have multiple professors or sections, not all of which are HN!) In keeping with our program philosophy, registration in these courses is not limited to Honors scholars; other students looking for a more challenging or engaged class may also choose Honors sections.
The program requirements clarify how many HN-designated courses you need for completion of the Honors Program.
