An Honors concentration is not limited to students who have been in the College Honors Program in the first and second years. The name, phone number, and office hours of the Honors concentration advisor are available in the Honors Office, 1228 Angell Hall, or in the Center for Judaic Studies, 3032 Frieze Building. Advising. Prospective concentrators should consult the concentration advisor. Normally, a concentration plan should reflect the multidisciplinary nature of the program and the themes that a student wishes to develop.
