English Honors Program
Designed to provide special enrichment opportunities for superior students, the English Honors Program comprises a series of courses that fits within the normal course-load limits. The program consists of two honors seminars (English 401, 402) and an independent study (English 501) that culminates in an honors thesis. All Honors courses meet WR (writing intensive) requirements and count towards the major.The seminars are open to honors students only and are designed specifically for them. The seminar format allows students to investigate topics in-depth and to discuss their findings with highly motivated colleagues.
The independent study, covering a topic of the student's choice, is completed under the direction of an English faculty member. The resultant thesis may be submitted for university and departmental honors.
The student who completes the two seminars and successfully defends the thesis receives an English Honors Certificate.
The Seminars
New seminars are created each semester. These are innovative classes on special topics. Seminars for 2006-2007:
