Honors General Education Objectives

Each Honors course provides opportunities for broader, deeper, and more complex learning-centered experiences for its students. The Honors General Education offerings are no exception. These courses are created to give Honors students something beyond what is offered within General Education courses for a typical student. The Honors General Education offerings are diverse and include courses from academic units across the university. We endeavor to offer courses in most of the General Education Objectives each semester.
