The number of specific honors courses you take is smaller than the amount needed for a minor.

生活学习社区

作为一名荣誉学生, you have the option to live in a residence hall only available to students in the 荣誉项目. We call this a “living learning community.” The living learning community provides access to faculty, study spaces 和 specialized social 和 cultural programs. Honors housing is not traditional freshman housing, therefore, there may be a difference in cost. Traditionally, the honors living learning community is housed in 病房和帕特森大厅.
