University Honors Program

General Information

Honors Independent Study and Honors Contract

The honors curriculum may be customized to fit individual needs through Honors Independent Study and Honors Contract.

Honors candidates who meet the requirements for honors registration may petition to enroll in Honors Independent Study, individualized instruction or research under the guidance of a faculty advisor.

With the approval of the course instructor and the University Honors Program, honors candidates may obtain honors credit by enrolling in a non-honors, advanced-level course and engaging in a written “Honors Contract” to undertake more challenging work and to meet for individual instruction.

Up to 15 hours of credit earned through Honors Independent Study and/or Honors Contracts may be applied to graduation with University Honors, provided that no more than three courses are used from each category. Up to three courses on Honors Contracts may be applied to graduation with Foundation Honors.
