Honors Program Core Courses
During the first two years, every student in the Honor Program takes honors sections of two or three of the following five courses. In these courses, students sharpen their skills at close and critical textual engagement and at articulation of questions and ideas, both in writing and in speaking. Enrollment in these courses is limited to seventeen students, and they all fulfill college Liberal Studies requirements.
1. First Year Seminar
2. Philosophy 103: Introduction to Philosophical Problems
3. Philosophy 201: The Philosophy of Human Nature
4. Humanities 101: Ancient and Medieval Civilization
5. Humanities 102: Modern Civilization
Students who take honors sections of only two of these courses must perform additional substantive work in one course in their major, as approved by the Honors Committee and the course instructor. Students entering the Honors Program after their first semester who have already taken non-honors sections of two or more of the honors core courses also follow this plan.
