"H"
Courses
These courses (such as EC 211H
or RL 101H) are taught within departments. These courses are open
to all students, although priority registration is given to honors students.
Generally, these classes will be smaller in size than normal classes.
They are more intensive in content, more sophisticated in expectations,
and more focused on critical thinking and problem solving. These
courses do not necessarily require more work; rather, they seek to expand,
enrich, and enhance the student's understanding of the subject.

Honors Option
In order to increase the choices students have in completing the requirements of the Honors Program, students may include one Honors Option course as one of their six H or HP classes. The Honors Option should most often be used to link the student's work in the Honors Program to their major, and to help them prepare for their Honors Senior Project. Thus, in most cases, students should use the option within their major. Specific guidelines may be found under Forms |
