Initiated in 1980, the Livingston College Honors Program provides a challenging learning experience to exceptional students who demonstrate promise of intellectual or artistic achievement. The honors program comprises a four-year sequential curriculum and is an integral component of a student`s academic program. Seminars are interdisciplinary in content and are taught by outstanding faculty who represent major disciplines at the university. For the sequence of courses, see the Course Listing chapter in this section. The fourth-year honors thesis may be combined with a departmental honors thesis or independent study in a department.
Honors students participate each term in the honors colloquium, a 1-credit open forum, which includes lectures, film screenings, art exhibits, and cultural events on and off campus.
Applications for the honors program may be obtained from the Office of the Dean. Qualified sophomores or first-year students who have finished their first term may apply for admission to the program on a space-available basis. Interested students should contact the Office of the Dean. Successful completion of the four-year program is noted on the student`s transcript.
