HONR 140 — Introduction to Honors
This course introduces students to the SMSU Honors Program. Subjects covered include the requirements and responsibilities of being an honors student, an introduction to university life and campus resources, the history and goals of liberal education, and assessments of student capacities concerning those goals. The main objective will be to assist students to design an Honors Program Proposal, but there will also be formal discussions of topical issues, written assignments, guest faculty visits, off-campus visits, and a careful reading of several central texts.
