Honors Program Courses

To help you plan your Honors courses, download here an overview of a Honors course offerings for each semester.

Open Spring 2021 Honors Courses

Many Honors Courses have a designated meeting time. Students are expected to be able to meet virtually at these times. Of course, instructors will make allowances for times when students need to miss a session due to technology issue or other life circumstances. It is our hope that these listed times will help you schedule classes according to your needs, and, when possible, to adjust your schedules outside of classes to accommodate the class times for the courses you wish to take. If your schedule is uncertain, there are several Honors courses with no designated meeting time.

The Honors Great Ideas Course

All students wishing to graduate with the Honors Program Graduate Distinction must take this course.  We offer at least one section of the course every semester, including summer.  We have two sections this Spring.  Please note, HUM 105 and HST 105 are the same exact class.  There are just two ways to register for it.  So, if HUM 105 is full, try HST 105 (and vice versa). 

Note – Professor Richmond is listed as the instructor for HST 105 SH1 and Professor Garcia is listed as the instructor for HUM 105 SH1, but, again, it’s the same class. We are teaching it together.  It doesn’t matter which one you sign up for.
