HELPFUL HINTS:
 
Courses taken for your major/college requirements must be SEPARATE from courses used toward satisfying the Honors College general education requirement EXCEPT in writing (MC 111, 112) and social science (MC 201, 202).
Courses taken for a related area in your major are part of your major requirement and must be SEPARATE from courses used for general education.
Courses for an additional major or teaching minor in another college or for a specialization MAY be used for general education, subject to adviser approval.
Plan for Honors work outside your major, in addition to the courses listed above, as well as in your major area.
Try to plan for Honors work that may include but does not rely solely on Honors Options.
