Course Catalog

Honors tutorials are flexible, two credit experiences that typically take place outside regular class times and can range from small-group discussion with a professor, group learning with visiting lecturers and community partners, or off-campus experiential learning. Topics are chosen by faculty members and are based on either their academic area of expertise or a particular avocation. Recent tutorials have comprised, among other things, a week-long Chicago museum experience, a tattoo and body art exhibition, and work with the production company Theater of War, which uses performance of Greek tragedy to heal combat trauma. A student may enroll in tutorials twice (two semesters of tutorials) or once if studying abroad. Prerequisite: permission of the Honors Program Director, junior standing or greater, and minimum GPA of 3.4. Graded on an S/U basis.
