The Honors Program Curriculum
For students entering the Honors Program as freshmen, the program curriculum consists of a ten-course sequence. Students who enroll in the Honors Program after their freshmen year will not be required to take the full ten-course sequence. The program will be tailored specifically for each student depending upon their previous academic course work taken at Roosevelt or another fully accredited institution. The curriculum includes a core set of courses in creative writing and critical thinking in addition to a selection of specialty courses. Students culminate the honors program with a thesis, researched and written under the close guidance of faculty members. The specific Signature Courses and Seminar Courses offered will vary by semester. Consult with each semester’s Class Schedule for the most current listings.

The process begins when you complete the Undergraduate Application for Admission and send it to the campus you wish to attend.
