Course Work
Honors students pursue majors in any of the University's colleges and schools. In your first semester as an honors student at Mizzou, you might typically enroll in two or three honors classes. These courses exist in the curriculum of almost every department across campus. With the chance to take more small classes, you'll have ample opportunities to express yourself and interact closely with professors and classmates.
Honors courses often include more extensive reading lists or more ambitious laboratory work than nonhonors classes. They rely on original sources rather than on a textbook's summary of ideas. They may cover more intellectual territory and involve more in-depth conversation and original written work. Honors courses include the four-semester Humanities Sequence, the Social and Behavioral Science Sequence, the Science Sequence for nonscience majors, and a changing menu of seminars.
Other Honors Courses
Honors classes take two forms: honors sections of regularly offered classes and special honors classes. Recent special honors classes include:
- Paradigms and Paradoxes: A Brief History of Science
