Honors colloquia are highly original, seminar-style classes.
Two are required for graduation.
Honors Thesis/Senior Projects
The Senior Project represents a significant endeavor that can be creative, scholarly, scientific, service-oriented, or experiential. Non-traditional options (leadership portfolio, wellness project, culture project) also exist.
