Clemson University Honors College
Interdisciplinary & Engaged Learning
Develop an innovative, signature Clemson Honors academic experience grounded in engaged, interdisciplinary learning. Goal:
21 Honors credit hour average for graduating seniors 15 Honors learning outcomes developed to guide five learning competencies 18 Honors credit hours required to graduate with a General Honors distinction
Throughout the academic year, the Honors College advanced its commitment to experiential and interdisciplinary learning, ensuring that Honors students continue to think deeply, lead with purpose, and make a difference. Honors faculty and staff developed a set of Honors-specific competencies and learning outcomes to guide the design of courses and hands-on learning opportunities. These outcomes provide a framework for creating meaningful academic experiences across disciplines, encouraging faculty to integrate at least one learning outcome and related activity or assessment into their teaching. In addition, the College piloted Honors in Action, a new program focused on creating innovative opportunities to engage and interact with impactful, real-world experiences for its students. Honors in Action courses, co-curricular leadership opportunities, and service-learning experiences will allow students to take their knowledge and place it firmly in action through unique and compelling interactive experiences in their community, throughout South Carolina, and abroad. Together, these initiatives help Honors students build the critical thinking, collaboration, and leadership skills that define the Clemson Experience, preparing them to serve, innovate, and thrive long after graduation.
