Honors Learning Experiences

In recognition of learning occurring outside the classroom, students will have the option to undertake a variety of learning experiences that will result in a reduction in their minimum required number of Honors courses.

  • For CoAD, two from Group A, one each from Groups B and C, and one from Group D
  • For all other colleges/majors, four from Group A and one each from Groups B, C, and D
