Sciences are integral to the quest for holistic education. Honors education is too overwhelmingly
humanities and social sciences. This panel proposal stems from the deliberations of the Honors
Committee on Small Colleges at the 2009 NCHC Annual Conference. Faculty from five different
institutions will present their experiences in the pursuit of making science a larger part of honors
education.
