Students may prepare for the comprehensive examinations in the core areas by
taking the designated courses or through independent study. A student who prepares
without formal course work, and passes the comprehensive examination,
may receive credit in the corresponding course. A student who receives full
college credit, through the Advanced Placement Program, for a course included
in the Honors College core program satisfies the requirement in that field and
is excused from the comprehensive examination. With the consent of his adviser,
a liberal arts major may omit one of the six core areas and a professional-school
major may omit two.
(3) Honors work in English composition-one term of Expository Writing
(Wr 226), two terms of Composition Tutorial (Wr 231, 232).
(4) Two terms in Colloquium (HC 404) in the junior or senior year. Colloquia
provide seminar-type instruction for students of varying backgrounds, focusing
for one term on a common topic outside the students' major fields.
(5) Completion of an honors program in the student's major; see MAJOR
REQUIREMENTS, below.
(6) Satisfactory performance in a final comprehensive oral examination
covering the student's major and related work.
Honors College students must also satisfy general University requirements
for the B.A. degree (other than the group requirement).
An Honors College student majoring in a professional field may qualify for
both the B.A. (Honors College) and a professional bachelor's degree.
In addition to the courses listed above, the Honors College curriculum
includes honors work in English composition, honors sections in several other
fields (including basic design, foreign languages, literature, United States history,
speech, accounting, statistics, and health education), and opportunities for work in
departmental honors seminars, research projects, and reading and conference.
The Honors College student takes approximately two-thirds of his work in
honors classes and the remainder in regular University courses.
Major Requirements
The major programs planned by departments and schools for students in
the Honors College provide for independent study and generally allow greater
flexibility in the satisfaction of course requirements than the regular undergraduate
programs of the divisions. The special requirements of the several divisions
for majors enrolled in the Honors College are listed below.
General Arts and Letters. At least 9 term hours in seminar, reading and
conference, thesis, or research (or a combination), leading to the preparation of
senior honors thesis.
General Social Science. (1) Of the four upper-division year sequences
required of all majors, at least one at the 400 level; (2) at least 9 term hours in
seminar, reading and conference, thesis, or research (or a combination), leading
to the preparation of senior honors thesis.
