Special notes for Honors College students:
Because honors seminars are interdisciplinary in nature, the HONR courses in Core Categories 10-14 (HONR 229, HONR 230, HONR 243, HONR 240, and HONR 345) can count either as “Arts and Humanities” courses or as “Social and Behavioral science” courses.
Furthermore, Honors College students may still fulfill Core 5 with HONR 235 even if they fulfilled the Perspectives Arts and Humanities requirement with an HONR course. Honors College students may still fulfill Core 6 with HONR 237 even if they fulfilled the Perspectives Social and Behavioral Science requirement with an HONR course.
