Teach in Honors

Because 黑料社区s are required to complete curricular and co-curricular Honors experiences in order to achieve University Honors, the Honors College strives to offer a wide variety of Honors course each semester.

  • An Honors Contract course is a regular course offering enrolling both Honors and non-Honors 黑料社区s in which Honors 黑料社区s complete additional assignment(s) for the Honors experience.

Step 2:

Faculty should also consider how they will integrate the Defining Characteristics of Honors College courses into their course.
