Honors courses – GE credits; major/minor credits (with approval)*

Here’s what Honors credits can do for you: *

Students take 9 courses, including Honors Forum and Honors Capstone, to complete the Honors Program.

Transfer students, with 60 credits prior to matriculation, take 6 courses, including Honors Forum and Honors Capstone.

1.  Completion of the Honors Program automatically fulfills the I/M GE cluster.

2.  Honors courses carrying a GE can be assigned to fulfill one GE category each, with stipulations for courses also receiving major or minor credit (See #3.)

3.  If a student wants to assign an Honors course to fulfill a GE category AND a major or minor credit:

a.  Up to 3 Honors courses can be assigned to fulfill both GE and major requirements.

b.  Up to 2 Honors courses can be assigned to fulfill both GE and minor requirements.

4.  Courses under multiple main Honors categories can only be assigned to one category.

5.  A semester-long study abroad course can count as an Honors elective course.
