HONORS LEARNING
2023-24 BY THE NUMBERS
Over the past academic year, Honors students chose from a variety of Honors seminars, including options focused on: why some brands, companies, and ideas become more or less “cool” over time; how well-being is conceptualized in different cultures through analyzing and experiencing popular leisure-based wellness activities; and exploring how video games can be treated as a form of literature by reading about, watching and playing them together. Students can also find Honors sections of courses offered in departments across campus, and are able to explore more than 800 Honors research or thesis courses that offer the potential to make new discoveries with leading faculty. They can also choose from Creative Inquiry projects across all disciplines — and interdisciplinary ones right in the Honors College. For example, a group of Honors students worked with Assistant Professor Joshua Catalano (also our Honors Residential College Faculty in Residence) in a Creative Inquiry this year that worked to capture the Honors student experience and how it has evolved over time — an initiative that started as an Honors seminar option and evolved into a larger research project.
