21:525:100 First-Year Honors Colloquium (3) Theme-based interdisciplinary seminar; theme changes each semester. Offers students an opportunity to develop critical thinking skills and to work closely with selected members of the faculty on topics not usually covered in the undergraduate curriculum or covered at a greater level of detail than ordinarily is possible in a general course. Open to Honors College students only by permission of the director.
21:525:250, 252, 254 Honors Special Topic Seminars (3,3,3) Theme-based seminars in natural sciences (525:250), the humanities (525:252), and the social sciences (252:254); themes change each semester. Provides opportunities for intellectual exploration of topics not usually covered in the undergraduate curriculum or of topics at a greater level of detail than ordinarily is possible in a general course. Open to Honors College students only by permission of the director.
21:525:401 Honors College Independent Study (BA) Independent study offers students an opportunity to explore an area of special interest with the guidance and expertise of a faculty member through a program of readings and/or research. Open to Honors College students only by permission of the director.
21:525:450 Honors College Internships (BA)

Placement in a suitable off-campus organization that encourages students to understand and to test the applicability of their classroom educational experiences. Eight to 10 hours per week of work, weekly log of internship-related activities, and a final paper are required.

Open to Honors College students only by permission of the director.
21:525:497,498 Senior Honors Project (3,3) Honors College seniors culminate their undergraduate experience with a yearlong effort that may take one of two forms. (1) They may take the capstone course, a theme-based course in which students may work collaboratively on a common project or complete an individual research project on a subject related to the course theme. (2) Students also may elect to complete an individual thesis, not part of an organized course, supervised by a faculty member. The project may be focused on a student's major area of study or may reflect a special interest or talent of the student outside of his or her major. Credit is given only upon completion of the project. Open to Honors College seniors only by permission of the director. Both semesters must be completed to receive credit. This is the capstone of the Honors College requirements.
