Upper Division Seminars

Having completed the first year of studies, the Honors Program student is then offered a wide variety of seminars in honors that will allow the student to study topics, time periods, and areas of interest in considerably more depth, using the broad overview of the first year as a foundation upon which to build.

Students in the Honors program must take two Honors religion courses to fulfill the university requirement. Religion courses in the Honors Program include:

• Religion is...
• Catholic University: An Oxymoron?
• Sports and Spirituality

Students in the Honors program are also required to take an ethics course, which can either be in Honors or within their major.

In total, an honors student must complete 14 Honors courses. After the 6 freshman year and the required religion and ethics courses, four to six additional Honors electives are open to exploring whatever a student is interested in. Some of the elective courses offered include:

• The Sixties: A Critique
• Tolkein, Politics, Midearth
• Creative Process: Art
• How People Learn
• American History Through Baseball

As a capstone to the Honors experience, each student must also complete a project of his or her own design under the mentoring of a faculty member and an Honors Program faculty coordinator. If an Honors Program student completes a research seminar or internship in his or her major for which a grade is received, then it may be substituted for the Honors Project.
