The Honors Core Curriculum provides a comprehensive educational experience for honors students and allows them to interact as an community of learners.  Students may satisfy the requirements of both the Honors Core and any degree program by enrolling in the honors sections of courses or electives within their degree program requirements.  If students complete at least eighteen hours of specified honors courses, the completion of the Honors Core Curriculum will be designated on their transcripts and diplomas.  This designation as an honors graduate represents a significant enhancement of students' academic credentials.
