Honors Program debuts with advanced courses

December 2, 2005

Miami University Hamilton Senate recently approved the formation of a new Honors Program for students at Miami Hamilton.

The program provides many benefits including an honors course transcript notation and small, highly interactive classroom experiences. In addition, students will receive enhanced opportunities for intellectual challenge and leadership and support for individual growth in research and writing skills.

According to Professor of English Diana Royer, “Hamilton Honors provides students with an academic and intellectual climate that promotes active engagement in learning, creativity, responsible global
citizenship, and a reflective approach to living life.”

Courses to be offered this spring include, “Readings in Colligan Lecture Series (history),” “Passing & Identity in Literature & Film (English),” “Human Development & Learning in Social Educational Contexts (educational psychology),” and “Problems of Moral & Social Values (philosophy).”

Students with at least 15 credit hours (graded course work) and a GPA of 3.5 or higher are automatically admitted upon enrollment. First semester students are invited to join the program based on high school GPA, test scores, and additional variables. For more information, contact the Office of Acadmic Advising.
