Students may (double) count approved Honors courses (unless they are in their major discipline) that also are designated as fulfilling
Dialogues or
minor requirements.
Students may NOT count courses in their major discipline towards the Honors Scholar Program unless they are a double major. That is, students may not count any course with their major discipline prefix (e.g. ENG) or that counts towards the actual (30 + hours) major.
STAT 290 can count for all majors (including math).
Courses outside of the major prefix used as Required Support and BS Requirements, etc., can count in most cases. Certain disciplines have restrictions on counting the following courses: MATH 263, 264, CHEM 130, (CHEM 421 for biology majors if used for their major) and PHYS 185, 186, 195, and 196. For example, PHYS 185-186 cannot count for other majors that require it; these majors may usually count PHYS 195-196 for Honors designation. If you have a question, consult the Honors Scholar Program committee member in that area.
By major:
- Ag science: can NOT count CHEM 130; CAN count PHYS 185, 186
- Biology: can NOT count CHEM 130, PHYS 185, PHYS 186; CHEM 421 if used as an elective for the biology major BS students CAN count any BS requirement honors courses (including CHEM 131, PHYS 195, 196)
- Biochemistry and Molecular Biology: can NOT count PHYS 185, PHYS 186, or any CHEM or BIOL course used to fulfill major requirements or required support; CAN count PHYS 195 and PHYS 196
- Business: ECON courses can only count if they are not used to fill major or required support areas. Once those requirements are met, additional ECON courses may be counted.
- Chemistry: can NOT count MATH 263, 264, PHYS 185, 186; CAN count STAT 290, PHYS 195, 196 and any honors Biology courses
- Computer Science: can NOT count MATH 263, CHEM 130, PHYS 185, or PHYS 195 if counted toward the major CAN count CHEM 130, PHYS 185, or PHYS 195 if not used to fill a major requirement; CAN count MATH 200, 264, 285, BIOL 200, 300, CHEM 131, PHYS 196, and STAT 290
- Exercise Science: can NOT count CHEM 130 or PHYS 185 if they are required, as for pre-med; CAN count CHEM 131, PHYS 186, 195, 196
- Math: can NOT count CHEM 130 or PHYS 195 if counted toward the major; CAN count CHEM 130 or PHYS 195 if not used to fill a major requirement; CAN count STAT 290, CHEM 131, PHYS 195, 196
- Physics: can NOT count MATH 263 or 264; CAN count MATH 365 and honors Biology and Chemistry courses EXCEPT: CHEM 130
By course:
Note: No major can count a course in its own discipline. (e.g. Chemistry majors cannot count any CHEM course).
- MATH 263 can NOT count for Chemistry, Computer Science, or Physics majors
- MATH 264 can NOT count for Chemistry or Physics majors
- CHEM 130 can NOT count for Ag Science, Biology, Computer Science, or Physics majors
- CHEM 131 CAN count for all majors (except Chemistry)
- CHEM 421 can NOT count for Biology (if used as elective for the Biology major)
- PHYS 185-186 can NOT count for Biology, Chemistry, or Exercise Science (if required) majors CAN count for Ag science
- STAT 290 CAN count for all majors
