A key element in the University Honors Program is the Honors Seminars taught by top ranked faculty covering a wide range of topics and issues. Because the small class size is limited to eighteen students, there is great opportunity for close interaction between instructors and students. All seminars substitute for Intellectual Foundations Program (I.F.P.) curriculum courses and many are Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) courses. Students typically take four seminars in their freshmen year.  During the Fall semester of the Freshman year, Honors Students will be enrolled in the 1 credit SLS 1501 - Introduction to Academic Life.
