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.
