A quality education must include practical real-world experiences in addition to traditional classroom learning.
The "Honors Experience" was created to promote this critical educational diversity, allowing students to shape customized paths toward graduation with Latin honors.
Honors Courses
Students must complete three Honors courses prior to graduation.
Honors courses are an opportunity for honors students to learn from some of the University's most distinguished faculty and discipline experts in an engaging environment.
Honors Experiences (NEXUS)
Students must complete five Honors experiences prior to graduation.
Honors experiences can be split into two types:
- Honors NEXUS Experiences
- Non-Course Honors Experiences
Honors NEXUS Experiences are not required for graduation with Latin Honors, but may be used to fulfill non-course experience requirements. These experiences take a variety of forms, treat a diverse array of subjects, and occur over different spans of time.
Non-course Honors experiences, such as research, studying abroad, and internships, provide an educational breadth that can’t be obtained in the classroom. Students should discuss potential non-course experience opportunities with their Honors Advisor.
