The minor includes a unique offering of courses and seminars dedicated to interdisciplinary inquiry. The minor provides the ideal avenue for students to become intellectually well rounded. The integrative nature of the coursework invites students to reach beyond the boundaries of their academic major and join in scholarly conversation with students and faculty from disciplines other than their own. By facilitating a more sophisticated exploration of issues in an area by drawing from other relevant bodies of knowledge, the minor broadens and deepens a student's academic focus, and provides the intellectual tools for success in graduate school, professional work, and the modern workplace. 3. Is study abroad required for the Honors Program? Yes, all Honors Program students are required to complete a credit-bearing study abroad experience.

Essay Every applicant MUST respond to the following prompt. Your essay should be between 650-750 words. Remember to: be specific, give examples, and answer EVERY part of the question. Prior to beginning the essay portion of the application, you should type your essay and save it as a Word document. You will copy and paste your essay within the appropriate text fields. 1. Leave yourself time to rewrite and revise. Start early and leave plenty of time! Most likely that means to give yourself weeks (not days, and certainly not hours!) to rework your essay. 2. Be original. As you are writing and revising, continually ask yourself if you would be interested in reading your essay. Tell us something new that we may not have heard before. 3. Show genuine enthusiasm. Nothing draws a reader more than writing that is invigorating. Your enthusiasm will show through. 4. Be specific, give examples and answer every part of the question. You need to include concrete details when responding to the essay question. Responding to only parts of a question will result in lower marks. 5. Proofread your work. Make sure you do not have any typographical errors. Do not rely on your computer’s spell check. Although some software programs make grammatical changes for you, chances are you will need to read your essay word for word to make sure you have not goofed, for example, by using “there” instead of “their” or “form” instead of “from.” Also make sure your intended meaning is coming across.
