Seminars are the heart of the Honors Program, and are grouped in four main areas of study:
 Arts and Letters
Mathematics, Science and Technology
Religious and Philosophical Studies
Social and Historical Studies
Students can also create a cohort to design a course as a preceptorial and then teach each other under a professor's guidance.
Studying abroad for a semester can count as one of the Honors elective courses. |
In a broad interdisciplinary program based on great books and events from cultures from around the world, Honors students and faculty concentrate on mutually critical exchanges between the classics of human cultures and the contemporary world.
The goal of these dialogical exchanges is collaborative and intentional learning.
In Honors courses, students and faculty together connect enduring and emerging ideas, drawing on shared texts, lectures, seminar discussions, and cultural experiences. |
Honors students must:
complete eight Honors courses, including the Honors Capstone, for a minimum of 24 credits.
take at least one course from each of the four main areas of study. (See categories under Structure)
take the 1-credit Honors Forum their first year at Chapman (incoming and transfer students).
How does Honors fit into the CU curriculum?
The program satisfies the Inter/Multidisciplinary GE Cluster.
Select courses may also satisfy other major, minor or GE requirements.
** transfer students with 60 units or more prior to matriculation take five Honors courses, including the Honors Capstone. In addition, incoming and transfer students must take the 1-credit Honors Forum their first year at Chapman. One course must be taken in each of the four areas; three of the five courses must be at the 300 level or above. |
