Certain courses and sections redesignated as honors courses, fhese may be taken by qualified tudents in any major. A student in the program may enroll in as many or as few honors courses as desired, on a semester-by semester basis. The courses are designed for students interested in subject material which is broader and deeper than that of regular clas ses. Students work harder than in non-honors classes, but don’t have to worry as much about grades. A s and B’s are usually dominant in honors courses. The courses offered vary each semester but certain freshman and upper-level courses are al ways offered. These classes are biology, business, chemistry, eco nomics, English, environmental design, history, math, modem language, physics and political sci ence. One advantage of participating in the UHP is that sections are smaller than those in non-honors classes. This offers increased opportunities for interaction be tween the instmetors and stu dents. Students experience grea ter challenges with a minimum of extra demanded time. Students in the program must maintain at least a 3.0 grade point ratio. The appropriate academic dean and the director of UHP, Dr. B.L. Shapiro, must approve all students wishing to participate in the program.
