Honors Humanities Program
The Honors Humanities program features a living/learning experience, an academically challenging curriculum, and attentive advising by program faculty. The curriculum of Honors Humanities is designed to show how the humanities and arts work--both as knowledge-making disciplines and as venues for significant public action. Participants in the Honors Humanities program complete an individual research project over a period of four semesters.
