Spring 2026 Lecture HonorsUpper Division
This course establishes a new pathway for Honors completion through a critical engagement with the Undergraduate Research pillar of the college. This course will empower Honors students to leverage their research, scholarly, and creative experiences in curricular as well as co- and extra-curricular experiences toward completing the HC curriculum. Our course will combine workshops, hands-on laboratories, group discussion, and one-on-one meetings. The major assignment is a reflective portfolio, which will serve as a record of your past experiences and an opportunity to reflect on the ways in which your time as an Honors College student has shaped your research thinking and helped prepare you for life beyond the university. Successful completion of the course fulfills the scholarly project requirement of the HC curriculum.
