Honors Center (HONR) Slonaker House (520) 621-6901 The Honors Center provides special opportunities to those students who demonstrate the highest levels of creativity, curiosity, maturity, and academic achievement. Responsibility for the program is shared between academic departments and the Honors Center. Departments generally assume responsibility for those courses which are endemic to their respective disciplines while the Honors Center participates in this joint venture by offering seminars and colloquia that are broader, often interdisciplinary in focus, and by exposing students to a variety of noncredit, cultural opportunities designed to enrich campus life. In the Schedule of Classes students receive prior to registration, all honors courses are identified by the suffix "H" attached to the course number (History 106H) or to a section designation positioned under the course number (History 106, section 5H). Honors courses are reserved exclusively for honors students. In order to graduate with honors, a student must: (1) maintain and graduate with a 3.5 grade-point average, (2) complete 30 units in university-wide, college, or departmental honors courses (18 units if entering as a junior or senior), (3) complete both semesters of 498H as part of the 30-unit honors requirement, and (4) submit a completed honors thesis to the Honors Center prior to graduation. The format of the program is structured such that a student can fulfill the academic honors requirements by enrolling in at least one honors course each semester, plus completing the required 498H sequence (6 units). Course offerings sponsored by the Honors Center and the participating academic departments include, but are not limited to, those listed below. It is important to note that, in order to develop an appropriate blend of honors offerings, these courses may not be offered every semester or year. Students should check the Schedule of Classes each semester to determine if a specific course is available.
