Honors courses are divided into two categories: General Honors courses and Departmental Honors courses. General Honors courses include a variety of options, such as:

• Tutorials – These 1-credit courses, with (usually) no more than five students, center on a specific topic or special event and require an application.
• Seminars – A slate of both regularly-offered courses and topical courses, all of which are interdisciplinary and taught by Honors College faculty.
• Sequence Courses – There are four sequences within the Honors College:
  • The Humanities Sequence explores art, religious studies, philosophy, music, literature, classics and theater.
  • The Sciences Sequence integrates the disciplines of chemistry, physics, math, biology, geology, engineering, astronomy, environment and agriculture.
  • The Behavioral Sciences Sequence covers topics such as economics, geography, psychology, sociology, anthropology, journalism, business and education.
  • The Social Sciences Sequence examines issues through political science, public affairs, history and law.

Departmental Honors courses are field-specific courses with smaller enrollments, Mizzou’s top faculty, and specific approaches, methods, tasks, and assessments that meet the expectations for an Honors course.
