Will all my courses be Honors courses?

In your first two years, you'll be expected to take an average of half your course work in Honors, although you're certainly permitted to take more if you wish. During the first year, every Honors student is expected to take one course each term which is designated to fulfill the Texts & Ideas requirement; the remaining Honors courses are of the student's choice, to average two Honors courses per term. Honors courses are offered by nearly every department in the College, so students are not "forced" to take Honors courses in subjects in which they do not feel appropriately prepared or interested. However, many students find an Honors course an engaging way to explore a discipline they have not studied before.
