Courses Icon
We heard you!

In our recent survey, many of you gave us useful feedback regarding our course offerings.  So… our Spring 2014 course lineup includes many continuing favorites and much that is new!

 

 Here’s some highlights:

  •  Two new Honors courses from IST
  • A new science offering (HNR 250 Darwin & Evolutionary Theory),
  • A new Psychology elective (PSY 392)
  • A new interdisciplinary HNR 340/360 course (Aesthetics across Cultures)
  • Two new writing workshops (a literary journalism workshop, MAG 400 and HNR 340 Critical Writing in a Wired Culture)
  • A new HNR social science (HNR 360 Body Art and Modification)
  • A few  new one-credit seminars:  HNR 230 Lying With Statistics, HNR 220 Strategies for Scholar Development, and HNR 210 SYSTEM CITY: Unpacking, Hacking, and Re-stacking the Urban Condition.
  • For the first time, we’re also offering both levels of Honors physics in the spring:  PHY 215 and PHY 216.  Hello Engineers!

You’ll also be glad to hear that the two IST 400/Honors courses and the MAG 400/Honors course all count as HNR prefix in your Honors requirements.

  • We’re also rolling out a new format for our course listings! We still will have our PDFs for those of you who like to browse, or print.  Now you will notice that below the PDF links there is a big list of all the courses.  Just click into a course’s title for a complete description.  You can then email, share, or bookmark, classes you are interested in for when you register.  Please remember: this list is in “beta”, so it’s pretty basic right now. In the future, we’ll work on adding some search tools and different views to make finding courses easier!
