Offerings
Please note that many classes can be taken as an
honors course, but must be approved by the professor and the honors
director. If in doubt, see the professor first. Admission to a
particular course, even if you have been accepted into the program, is
at the discretion of the professor. |

REACH
is not a program of "extra work". Yes, you will have
assignments, projects, and even grading scales that may differ from
the mainstream syllabus, but these differences most often represent differences,
not additions. Your work will stress creativity, critical thinking,
and individuality. You will be allowed to examine each honors syllabus
before deciding which classes you want to take within the REACH
curriculum. Students are expected to take at least one honors course each
semester, but no more than two honors courses each semester, without special
approval from the Honors Director. Students who complete at least twelve
hours of honors work and maintain a 3.0 overall GPA will receive special
distinction during their graduation ceremony. |
