Honors is an academic program, analogous to an academic minor concentration, which
is compatible with any major (or even, with careful advisement, double major). Many
of the courses cross-list within departments, but each is designed specifically as
an honors course - reading-intensive, writing-intensive, intimate, participatory,
interdisciplinary, and offering opportunities for individual and collaborative research.
Some recent course offerings:
