Courses in the Lewis Honors College are interactive, discussion-based courses that ask students to actively participate in their own learning.  They are restricted to Honors students and capped at 25. Honors faculty strive to make academic questions accessible and relevant to students, across all home disciplines and learning styles. Honors courses aim to provoke curiosity and to teach critical inquiry—the attitudes and skills all students need to hone in college and take into their lives after graduation.

In addition to taking courses in the Lewis Honors College, students can also earn honors credit by entering into a course agreement with a faculty member that upgrades a regular undergraduate course into an Honors course; enrolling in graduate courses; and taking Honors sections of courses offered across the university. These courses can be found by doing an advanced search of the schedule of courses via myUK for courses that offer Honors credit.
