The Minor in Honors Studies Program at 海角社区 offers a creative and advanced interdisciplinary learning experience that is complementary to several majors at 海角社区 with special emphasis, but not limited to, majors such as political science, sociology, and criminal justice, etc. The minor curriculum offers honors only sections with additional topics, seminars, contracts, and petitions allowing students to differentiate coursework needed to graduate with a minor in addition to a student’s major program. Courses will offer “deeper thinking” discussions, critical and analytic problem-solving, and exploration of innovative ideas. The minor program will culminate into a creative senior capstone project which may count as a High Impact Educational Practice (HIEP). All Presidential Scholars/Reaud Honors Scholars in the Honors Minor will participate in the Reaud Leadership Institute and graduate as a Reaud Honors College graduate.
