HONORS classes
General Honors (GH)
General Honors (GH) courses are the heart of the University Honors Program and feature small class sizes, dedicated faculty members, interdisciplinary perspectives, active learning and an exciting array of topics. Most GH classes earn General Education credits.
Departmental Honors
Departmental Honors courses have a Department prefix and an “H” designation denoting Honors credit (e.g. PSY 101H). Such classes confer the same General Education credit as their non-Honors counterparts, but with added rigor, challenge and substance.
Honors Conversion

Honors Conversion classes are non-Honors sections that have been “upgraded” to the Honors level through the addition of special requirements for the student seeking the conversion (often a special project beyond normal course requirement). This conversion can be performed for any class, provided that documentation is provided by the instructor indicating which addition conditions must be met by the student in order to receive Honors credit. The advantage for the student is that conversion allows maximum flexibility to build an Honors program of study within a particular major field. For an Honors conversion form and more information on how to work with a faculty member to develop conversion criteria, please contact the University Honors Program office or visit the conversion information page.
