It is designed to provide the highly motivated and self-disciplined student with an opportunity to pursue a variety of subject areas in an intensely challenging academic environment. The course work will be sophisticated and demanding, frequently requiring the student to participate in independent research, to analyze facts and evaluate information. The student must also anticipate that each honors course selected will require an extensive time commitment beyond the scheduled classroom. A student who reflects the appropriate intellectual mindset, who can demonstrate a superior academic effort and is willing to dedicate the required time for each selected Honors (HON) class should be successful in this program.
