HELPFUL HINTS:
 
Courses taken for your major/college requirements must be SEPARATE from courses used toward satisfying the Honors College general education requirement.
Courses taken for an external specialty or cognate are part of your major requirement and must be SEPARATE from courses used for general education.
Courses for an additional major, a teaching minor, or a specialization MAY be used for general education, subject to adviser approval.
Try to plan for Honors work that may include but does not rely solely on Honors Options.
