Honors Option Courses

The Honors Institute announces a new form of Honors course, the Honors Option Course. Honors Option Courses are 200-level courses designated by instructors, where one to three students contract with the instructor to complete Honors-level work while other students complete standard coursework. We anticipate Honors Option Courses will enable more students to experience the satisfaction of completing Honors level work and completing the Honors Advanced Studies Certificate. In recognition of the increased workload for offering Honors courses, Provost Andrea Wade has agreed to reduce the number of course seats by one for every Honors Option Student registered.

Faculty members will be able to request which course sections are Honors Option Courses and the Honors Council will approve faculty requests. The Honors Institute coordinator, Robert L. Muhlnickel, will meet with interested faculty members during the Fall 2017 semester and we expect to offer Honors Option Courses in the Spring 2018 semester.
