Honors courses are more interactive, discussion-based, and hands-on than other courses but not more difficult or more work. They are typically smaller and designed to enhance your critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Courses might include field trips, travel study, visits from guest speakers, and more.
Honors courses are open to honors students only, excluding those only in the Honors in Major program. They count toward the honors citations and minor and may satisfy degree requirements for your major, general education, and open electives. You aren't taking more courses, but taking honors courses that fulfill multiple requirements.
"My favorite part of the Honors College was the courses, which were often unique subjects designed by whoever was teaching them. I got to see a different side of the instructor because there was a personal touch to what was going on in the classroom."

Honors seminars are unique courses offered exclusively to honors students. These courses are developed by honors faculty and incorporate interdisciplinary perspectives to engage you beyond your major. Seminars with a HAAH, HSBS, or HSCI prefix satisfy general education requirements.
