Service Learning Option
About the Service Learning Option
This option offers students the opportunity to develop an academic project based on a community service learning placement. Students seek to adapt their academic training and skills to the goals of a community service organization or cause, and in so doing explore both the social significance of their on-campus training and their own development as citizens. The written and oral products of this option are expected to meet the scholarly standards of their discipline and of the Honors College.
Important Notice
In an effort to provide students with an exceptional academic experience, the Honors College seeks to designate courses for Honors credit taught by some of the most rigorous faculty in the university. Students are strongly encouraged to approach course instructors who are full-time, tenured/tenure track faculty members or lecturers in the student's academic major for the Honors Senior Project. In order to ensure rigor and maintain consistency, graduate students and part-time, adjunct faculty members should not supervise an Honors Senior Project. Any exceptions to this policy must be reviewed and approved by the Honors College.
