Honors Courses
An honors course is a class in which the most advanced students are placed. Most students placed in honors courses are highly motivated and dedicated to their educational experience.
Motivation is the main quality that characterizes an honors student. In addition to being committed to academics, they are encouraged and many participate in volunteer work, organizations & clubs, cooperative education, research, study abroad and cultural activities.
Honors programs have specific entrance requirements and completion criteria in order to graduate with Honors, or cum laude, a distinction that employers view most favorably.
Honors classes also cover advanced material, permit more in-depth study than a standard course of study and may require independent research.
