Most Honors students take an introductory course (SE 1017) and one additional Honors course during their first semester. The SE 1017 experience is designed to foster community and collaboration among students. The additional Honors course is designed to expose you to the awesome options available in the various academic departments.

An honors option contract is an agreement between an Honors Program student and a professor that allows the student to turn a standard course into an honors course.
Since most honors courses are lower-division, honors options should be pursued primarily in the upper-division. There are exceptions to this rule. Honors options should not be used to avoid a regular honors course, or because an honors course is full or conflicts with the student’s schedule. While most honors options will be in courses related to the student’s major or minor, they can be appropriate in other courses where the student can demonstrate genuine interest and commitment.
