The Honors College curriculum centers around a first-year course taught by six core faculty, with numerous in-class and plenary lectures by visiting faculty and administrators from a variety of disciplines and professions. The course, "The Pursuit of Knowledge: Disciplines, Universities, and Engagement," draws on the expertise of the university's faculty and administrators in areas such as health care, law enforcement, business, environmental studies and natural resources, education, affirmative action, politics, constitutional rights, military studies, and more.
As students progress through the Honors College, they will narrow their focus, enrolling in honors courses developed to focus on faculty members' special research topics. Through undergraduate research grant programs and honors course work, students also may work closely with faculty in laboratories and out in the field.
In their junior and senior years, students return to their home schools and colleges to focus more intensely on their fields of study. They develop senior theses or projects and, if applicable, continue their involvement in their departmental honors programs.
