Honors students have access to three distinct types of curriculum offerings: (1) honors-designated general education course sections, (2) Honors College colloquia, and (3) the honors project. All courses are led by our Faculty Fellows, who apply to teach for The Honors College, and whose courses are selected based on their proposed experiential learning components, ability to challenge high achieving students, and interdisciplinary appeal. Our fellows are also active in their scholarship or creative work, bringing this advanced level of expertise to their classes. All Honors College courses are capped at 15 students.

 

Honors Foundations (HONR 1400)

Building a Scholarly Community (HONR 1400) is a 1 credit hour course designed to help first-year Honors College students familiarize themselves with the program, meet other Honors College students, and identify resources that will help them succeed at UCM and beyond. More specifically, the class will challenge students to think of themselves as part of a scholarly community. This course can substitute for the University Foundations (UNIV 1400) course.

 

Honors College Designated General Education Course Sections

Honors-designated general education course sections are smaller and more 鈥渉ands-on," but not inherently more difficult than traditional offerings. Although contingent on the semester, offerings for 2025-26 include History of the Modern World, Modern Sign Language, Our Digital Earth, and Educational Psychology.

Honors College Colloquia (HONR 3000)

Honors College-only colloquia cover a range of topical areas based on the Faculty Fellow鈥檚 area of expertise and are attractive to a wide range of majors. Colloquia for the 2025-26 academic year include Introduction to Quantum Computing, Legislating Change, The Center of the World: The Idea of Rome, and The Course about Nothing: Life in Seinfeld鈥檚 America. The latter two courses will involve a study tour component to Rome, Italy and New York City, NY respectively.

The Honors Project (HONR 4000)

The Honors Project exemplifies engaged learning through the process of working one-on-one with a faculty mentor in all phases of the process, from topic creation to the final product, and is an undertaking that forever impacts a student鈥檚 collegiate experience. In fact, research finds this type of engagement significantly increases desirable student outcomes, such as higher GPAs () and graduation rates (), particularly for underrepresented students (; ). Participation in undergraduate research and/or creative endeavors also prepares students for life after college, another pillar of UCM鈥檚 mission, including graduate school and employment opportunities ().
