How can students fulfill the 24-credit requirement?

These are the types of courses students can take to count towards the 24 credits:


  • HONR courses: These are courses offered by the Honors College for Honors College students. All first-year students take HONR 19901 in the fall semester and 19902 during the spring semester.
  • H designation courses: These are honors courses offered by other departments.
    • Credits from H designation courses count toward the electives requirement.
  • H contract: An honors contract is an agreement between a student and a professor that allows the student to do an honors project in a regular, non honors course. The student will earn honors credit for completing the project and the course. These credits count toward the electives requirement.
  • Thesis research courses: Students can take honors research courses that are directly related to their thesis topic.
