Honors Courses

Honors Courses foster a unique learning environment where students are given focused opportunities to deepen their learning and develop skills in collaboration and self-directed learning. Honors courses are reserved for students admitted to the Global Honors Program. All Honors Courses will share a common set of learning outcomes (in addition to the other course student learning outcomes) that are included on the course outline and that are assessed in these courses.

Students who complete Honors Courses should be able to:

Examine an issue or theme related to course material through two or more distinct disciplinary lenses (Interdisciplinarity)
Demonstrate effective collaboration with peers in pursuit of a shared goal (Collaboration)
Reflect upon how experiential learning has deepened their understanding of course material (Experiential Learning) Honors courses are generally reserved for students admitted to the Global Honors Program and by virtue of their priority scheduling get first admission to the courses. However, students who have completed at least 15 credits at the University and who have a Mercy GPA of 3.2 or higher may enroll in Honors courses, if space is available.
