Honors Courses

Honors Courses are taught by select faculty members, often senior professors, who are recognized scholars and scientists. Each year we offer approximately 500 sections of Honors courses, in classrooms averaging 18 students per course and generally capping at 25 students.

Honors Courses:
  • Are designed to match the abilities of Honors students
  • Emphasize quality and academic rigor
  • Are required (most Honors students take one or two Honors courses each quarter and traditionally perform very well).

Honors students enjoy University-Level Priority Scheduling, making them among the first to schedule courses each quarter. This scheduling privilege enables students to meet the expectations and requirements of the Honors Program, including a challenging curriculum, maintenance of a 3.4 or 3.5 gpa, and completion of specific college Honors requirements.
