Fall 2008 Course Guide

 


 

Courses

We are all about exploration and discovery.  Classes are usually small, taught as seminars in which students and professors challenge each other to think hard and creatively about issues and ideas at the heart of a strong education.  Honors class discussions are like the best conversations—we don’t want them to end.  Our courses often reflect the academic passions of Temple’s favorite professors, take John Raines’s popular Political Protest and Culture in the 1960’s.  We also offer Honors versions of standard fare, take Psychology as a Social Science.  No matter what, you can count on finding a course that interests you.

You don’t have to take all of your classes in Honors, but most students wish they could! To earn the Honors Certificate, students must complete at least eight courses during their undergraduate career at Temple (six courses for transfer students), and those in the Honors Scholars Program must complete six upper level courses.

Students can select Honors courses to fulfill Core Curriculum requirements, take courses required by a major, or take courses just because they sound intriguing! The choice is yours—the sky's the limit.
