Honors Embedded (HE) Courses

In an Honors-embedded (HE) course, Honors students attend a non-Honors class and work individually with the professor on special projects. The nature of these projects will vary across courses and professors. HE courses are designated in the Schedule of Classes, and students must receive instructor permission for enrollment in the Honors option. In general, HE courses count for Honors requirement, but students should confirm with their Honors advisor.
