The Honors
Curriculum
The Honors curriculum is called Foundations 21 and comprises 21 semester hours of honors courses. Normally taken in the freshman and sophomore year, these courses count toward the 45 semester hours of General Education Requirements needed for baccalaureate degree candidacy. Students must maintain a 3.3 GPA and abide by the established
university and college rules on academic conduct. Upon completion of the 21 hours students receive an Honors designation on their academic transcript and an Honors Scholar Certificate.
Students may further take 6 hours of Honors course work. These classes may also count within the student’s major area of specialization with permission of the department head and the Director of the Honors Program. Students must receive at least a B grade if the seminar is to count for honors credit. After 6 hours, students write a senior thesis (3 credit hours), supervised by an appropriate Honors faculty member in the student’s area of specialization. This qualifies them as a Senior Honors Scholar. When complete, Senior Honors status is designated on the student’s academic transcript.
