Exploratory Honors
Exploratory courses are multi-disciplinary so you can sample different interests. Six are required for graduation, and you choose the ones you want.
Honors Thesis/Senior Projects
The Senior Project represents a significant endeavor that can be creative, scholarly, scientific, service-oriented, or experiential. Non-traditional options (leadership portfolio, wellness project, culture project) also exist, so a student can pursue work that is individualistic and meaningful to them.
