PROPOSAL FOR UNDERGRADUATE CURRICULUM CHANGE
Course description change as it would appear in the catalogue (Course description change: 50 words or less; include prefix, number, title,
credit hours, crosslisting, pre/corequisites, etc.).
Prefix: HON
Number: 499
Title: Interdisciplinary Honors Work
Credit hours: 2-3
Crosslisting:
Pre/corequisites (indicate which):
Description:
Prerequisite: Eligibility for honors program and second semester junior standing. Independent work for honors students that
emphasizes interdisciplinary study. Satisfies University Studies V: Explorations Beyond the Classroom.
Justification for request or degree change:
Allows students the opportunity to work with a faculty member in a department different from their major. Typically this is related
to the student's minor. This would allow the faculty member supervising the project to have credit for the supervision even if
s/he were not in the department of the student's major.
No syllabus is attached, but an extended description of the rationale is. An example: If a BIO major is conducting reesarch on
animal behavior in a PSY lab... the student could be registered for HON 499 and PSY would get credit for the PSY faculty
member's supervision.
