Honors College Curriculum

Our specialized, honors-only classes offer an emphasis on critical thinking and discussion-based learning.

Honors students must earn 24 credits of Honors College coursework before they graduate. Those credits can be earned through any combination of Honors classes or approved stacked course research projects. Your Honors College advisor can assist you in customizing your Honors curriculum to align with your major, academic interests, and professional goals.
