At present, 15 honors seminars are being offered for the upcoming Fall 2020 semester.
Honors seminars satisfy the H6 honors requirement. If an honors student takes multiple honors seminars, that seminar may potentially fulfill the H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, or H7 requirement.
Where available, syllabi (current or previous versions) or descriptions are provided for the courses. The information is intended to provide students with a sense of what the course experience will be like. Please note that any syllabi posted here are subject to change.
HONR.3200 courses default as free electives. HONR.3200 may potentially satisfy an Arts & Humanities (AH) or Social Science (SS) requirement depending on the nature of the course, but students will need to complete a petition to appeal to the Core Curriculum coordinator, Kevin Petersen.
Students interested in petitioning for an HONR.3200 course to count as either an AH or SS core requirement should contact the Honors College Coordinator of Success and Communications, Megan Hadley by emailing Megan_Hadley@uml.edu to initiate the petition process.
