HONRS 120: Introduction to Great Questions
Each semester, a series of guest faculty presenters introduce students to the methodologies and questions that drive research in a variety of disciplines. Faculty guests help students recognize and articulate basic thinking patters, identify research questions, and look for interdisciplinary connections to other fields.
HONRS 22x: Unexpected Connections
The Unexpected Connections courses comprise the core of the Honors Program curriculum. Each team-taught course explores a unique topic and interrogates big questions and root problems through two distinct disciplinary lenses. See current course offerings and descriptions here.
Courses intentionally combine seemingly unrelated fields to explore the tension and connections between ideas, methodologies, and insights. Students and faculty learn together in a collaborative, innovative environment to discover unexpected connections between disciplines, leading to a deeper understanding of the questions we seek to answer.
Each course simultaneously fills Honors core curriculum requirements and the GE requirements in two designated disciplines.
Honors Faculty Fellows fill specific instructional needs in the Honors Program, typically teach in the Unexpected Connection series, and are a part of the Honors Community. Fellow appointments are usually for one year. Faculty Fellows are selected based on curricular needs, interest in the Honors Program, excellence in teaching and proven abilities to pursue interdisciplinary education. Candidates must be full-time professorial or professional faculty. See more information here.
