The Honors curriculum features a core of four classes that immerse students in the great ideas and works of human civilization and equips them with the tools to think critically, analytically and with the ability to integrate and synthesize across disciplines and concepts. As a part of that, the Honors senior seminar/thesis is intended to challenge the student to conduct a research project that integrates the strands of expertise developed through the Honors core, minor and her/his major program.

• General Honors (GH) 201: Introduction to the Great Works
• General Honors (GH) 301: Honors Seminar: Enduring Issues
• General Honors (GH) 401: Senior Thesis

In addition to completing the Honors core, students specialize in Honors through one of three elective concentrations designed to allow more substantial exposure and experience in sub-areas: 

• Global Perspectives
• Leadership and Civic Engagement
• Honors in the Major and General Education

To complete the University Honors Program, students must maintain a 3.25 cumulative grade point average, a 3.0 GPA in the Honors program and complete the Honors core, thesis, and one of the three elective concentrations.
