Note on Freshman Colloquia
Every Honors College freshman must take a 3 credit
colloquium during their first year at university. These
colloquiums will be offered in both the spring and fall.
Students who do not complete the colloquium in the fall
semester must complete this requirement in the spring.
This special seminar for
Honors College freshman is theme-based, and its theme
changes each year. Honors College students in this
colloquium have the opportunity to get to know each other
and to "ease into" college-level classroom
experience. The small course size permits special
emphasis to be given to the honing of critical thinking
and group discussion skills. Depending upon the
precise topic, colloquium courses often may be used to
satisfy the Natural Science (non-laboratory), fine arts, or
interdisciplinary degree requirement for students in the
College of Arts and Sciences. Recent colloquium topics
have included "Science and Religion,"
"Theatre, Performance, and Culture," "The
Role of the Media in Transforming Behavior," and
"Justice and Equality." The spring 2007 offerings
appear below and are also listed under "Honors Program" on
the
on-line schedule of classes.
