Honors Courses
The list of Fall 2015 Honors courses is now available on the honors blog.
Please check back for updates as the list is subject to change.

We recommend “double dipping” when possible; in other words, choosing honors courses that also fulfill a major, minor, or LASC requirement.
When to Register for Honors Courses...
Advising Appointments
Please be sure to make an appointment with your major advisor; your major advisor will be the one to sign your registration form.
If needed, the honors directors (Dr. Weierman and Dr. Hood-DeGrenier) are also available to consult with you about honors requirements by appointment (sign up using Starfish); please note that an honors appointment is not required.
Once you have an advisor’s signature, please bring your form to the department secretary, who will activate your eligibility so that you will be able to register during your allotted time.
Please note that Dr. Weierman can serve as the major advisor for honors English majors, and Dr. Hood-DeGrenier can serve as the major advisor for honors Biology majors. Both professors can also advise any undeclared honors students.
