The advanced honors seminar program, launched in spring 2005, extends the principles behind the freshman honors seminars to upper-level courses. Both sets of courses have as their goals to put undergraduates into contact with leading thinkers, to introduce them to important subjects, to challenge them intellectually through demanding standards of analysis and oral and written argumentation, and to prepare them to conduct their own research. In some instances students may count the advanced honors seminar toward their major or minor, if the department considers this appropriate; in other cases the classes count simply as electives. Sophomores and juniors typically have priority in registering for advanced honors seminars.
