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, such as John Raines’s popular Political Protest and Culture in the 1960’s.  We also offer Honors versions of standard fare, courses like Psychology as a Social Science and Macroeconomics

To graduate from the Honors Program, students must complete at least ten courses during their undergraduate career at Temple (six courses for transfer students with more than 60 credits).  Students have the option to be an Honors Scholar by completing an Honors Project (thesis, creative work, etc.) during their junior or senior year. 

Students can select Honors courses to fulfill General Education requirements, take courses required by a major, or take courses just because they sound intriguing!
