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.
