Honors Reading Courses

Honors Readings Courses for 2026-2027—Now Accepting Proposals (Dec. 1)

November 24, 2025

The Honors Program is looking for faculty-led readings courses to be offered next year (fall 2026 and spring 2027). This is a fun opportunity to teach a 1-credit, pass/no pass course to a group of no more than 15 curious and academically engaged juniors and/or seniors. You can try a topic that doesn’t quite fit into your regular curriculum, needs a test drive, or is something you want to learn more about yourself, as long as it would appeal to an interdisciplinary group of students.
