程序信息
Frederik Meijer荣誉学院是为渴望在学术上挑战自我的学生提供的另一种通识教育课程. 学院的重点是弥合传统学科之间的差距,让学生有机会看到每个学科对其他学科的影响.
为了实现这一目标, 我们的许多课程都是跨学科和团队教学的,同时利用小班授课来引发更多的讨论. We understand that sometimes the moments of greatest learning are unplanned. 这些小班, coupled with the fact that many professors hold office hours nearby, foster a deeper personal connection between students and professors. Another feature of our curriculum is an active schedule of co-curricular activities, 无论是校内还是校外.
更大的师生互动, as well as classes specially designed to foster advanced 写作 and speaking skills, 批判性思维, 和分析, prepare students to be competitive for graduate and professional programs. Our students develop high levels of proficiency in research, 写作, 批判性思维, synthesizing material from multiple disciplines, and applying critical skills to primary sources. 因为这些先进的技能, 在学生学者日,优等生有更多的机会作为本科生参与和展示研究, 区域荣誉会议, the National Collegiate Honors Council annual meeting, 以及其他专业会议.
