Honors Courses

 

Honors Courses at Mesa State are small in size to facilitate active learning.

Active learning often involves discussion. Honors students are not only encouraged to share their thoughts with their peers and professors but also instructed on how to lead effective discussions.

 

Honors courses often take advantage of the special interests and talents of our faculty members.

Here, Dr. L. Luis Lopez shares his expertise in Medeival literature with his students.

 

Honors courses combine creativity with challenge.

Examples of upper-division Honors Courses include:

Diverse Roots in Southwestern Literature

History of Disease

Rome: History, Politics, and Literature

Deconstructing Disney

Screenwriting

Sacred Mountain, Sacred Sky

Nature of Science

 

Honors courses are designed to prepare students for the climate and expectations of post-graduate or professional school.

 

If you choose to take the Honors coursework option, you are required to take 18 credits of Honors courses. Of these credits, a minimum of 6 must be from upper-division courses.
