PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS Honors College Rationale The proposed curriculum includes many of the elements of the credit hour based curriculum, but includes the following improvements:
• Incentivizes scholarly publications, dissemination of work, and applications for national recognitions. • Incorporates honors level internships, practicums and other field experiences through problem solving. • Prioritizes cultural awareness and developing global perspectives. • Improves the alignment of requirements with learning outcomes. This not only benefits program assessments, but also enables students to effectively
communicate the skills and richness of their honors experience to future employers and graduate schools. • Adds flexibility for transfer students and undergraduates who did not excel during high school. • Moves community engagement requirements from our honors society (Honoris Causa) into the curriculum.
Proposed Learning Outcomes
• Identify resources and evaluate evidence used to support arguments or critiques in multiple academic disciplines. • Analyze the commonalities and discords of the multiple perspectives. • Demonstrate cultural awareness and view issues from a global perspective. • Design independent inquiry projects that require critical and creative thinking • Demonstrate effective research or performance skills in their academic discipline. • Connect their academic experience with local and global community experiences. • Effectively communicate scholarly work within their discipline and the broader community. • Connect their academic experience with local community experiences. • Demonstrate that they are prepared for a career in their chosen field.
