Honors Course Proposal
The Honors Program at Shepherd University is designed to provide a varied and stimulating curriculum to students who have demonstrated the ability and willingness to engage in higher intellectual challenges. Honors classes are smaller than regular classes, with more emphasis on non-traditional approaches to learning and more interaction between professor and student. Professors in the Honors Program utilize interdisciplinary team-teaching or seminar approaches in exploring the subject matter. Honors courses encourage critical thinking, in-depth analysis, and a greater level of student involvement. We invite all professors to join in the challenge.
