Honors Seminars
Honors
Seminars are unique, special topics courses taught through
the UHP and available only to UHP Students. In most circumstances
these Seminars fulfill University General
Education Requirements (GER).
Small
Class Size
Our Seminars are typically limited to 20-25 students. UHP
students also may pursue other Honors opportunities,
including Honors Independent Study, Honors Study Abroad,
and Honors Co-operative Education working one-on-one
or in a small group with a faculty member.
Outstanding
Faculty
The
UHP is proud to work in partnership with members of NC
State’s Academy of Outstanding Teachers, and encourages
students to get to know our outstanding faculty beginning
in the first semester. Faculty members who teach Honors
Seminars have been recognized by their departments—and
by students—as some of the most talented teachers
and researchers on our campus. In addition to their exceptional
teaching credentials, many are world-renowned in their
fields as researchers and scholars.
Honors
Special Events and Workshops
The UHP sponsors special events for students throughout
the year. In the past, we have worked with the Student
Honors Governing Board (SHGB) to host a Southern
Writers Speaker Series and a welcome picnic. Throughout
the year we will provide workshops to position you
for admission to graduate or professional schools,
for major national scholarships, grant writing, resume
development, and other interesting topics.
Extended
Library Loan Privileges
UHP students receive the same extended loan periods as
graduate students (90 days) on
materials checked out from the D.H. Hill Library.
Priority
Registration
UHP students receive priority course registration, helping
to ensure their first selection of courses.

Research or Honors Creative Project
You must complete a minimum of 6 credit hours of Honors

students choose to pursue the research or creative
project in the major.
