The 荣誉项目 has two entry points: Early Entry, under 40 credits of earned college coursework, or Advanced Entry, over 40 credits of earned college coursework. 学生s who enter the program as a Freshman will complete three General Education courses in Honors. These courses can be identified in the class schedule by the letter "H" in the fourth position of the course number (PHIL 205H for example). 学生s who enter the program as a Junior, do not have General Education requirements. Honors core classes carry the HONR prefix. Courses may change each semester based on student needs and departmental resources. 学生s will meet with the Honors Advisor to determine the best coursework path.
A required course in the UVU 荣誉项目 curriculum, Colloquium engages students in a series of intellectually and culturally enriching events both on and off campus. These include lectures, theatrical and musical performances, daylong and overnight outdoor education trips, as well as service and research activities. 学生s must attend the once-weekly class regularly, attend all required events, at least three optional events they select during the sign-up week, and participate in a research group/service project of their choosing.
All students entering the 荣誉项目 are required to take 2 OR 3 semesters of Honors Colloquium (HONR 100R), depending on the students' entry point. Early Entry students (having earned fewer than 40 credits) are required to take Colloquium 3 times in their first two years. Advanced Entry students entering the Program (having earned 40 credits or more) are required to take Colloquium twice in their first year. Our main objectives are:
HONR 2000 (Ancient Legacies) and HONR 2100 (Modern Legacies) form the backbone of the Honors Core. Taken by incoming Honors students in their first two semesters in the program, Legacies courses connect students with their peers in the 荣誉项目 and prepare them for the intellectual habits and skills that will help them graduate with Honors. Legacies courses qualify as elective GE credit for all degree programs and Ancient Legacies satisfies Humanities (HH) credit.
