*Any four HNRS courses taken at the 2000 level meet the explorations area of the Fisher Core.
Note: Students must maintain a 3.30 cumulative grade point average. Honors core courses may not be taken S/U.
Transfer students may be admitted into the Honors Program. Most transfer students admitted into the program under the 2022-2023 university bulletin requirements do not take HNRS 101 or HNRS 1299. The core exemption that a transfer student is granted for the exploration area of the Fisher Core determines the number of HNRS courses that the honors student must take at the 2000-level.
All transfer students will complete at least HNRS 201 and the 3 keystone experiences.
Honors Students and the Fisher Core
Students who are accepted into the Honors Program also complete all areas of the Fisher Core; however, honors students must enroll in HNRS 1299 as the required Research-Based Writing course. The four HNRS core courses that are required at the 2000 level take the place of the exploration core courses taken by the rest of the student population. Please see the director of the Honors Program for more information.
