IDH 2910 - Interdisciplinary Studies and Honors

3 credits
Prerequisites: Demonstration of readiness for college-level communication.
This course is designed to foster critical and creative thinking habits and develop the research skills necessary to conduct rigorous inquiry into the human condition. Interdisciplinary honors courses provide in-depth, transdisciplinary engagement with select topics by integrating enhanced learning experiences such as individual and group research, field trips, guest speakers, Socratic discussions, and/or service learning initiatives into the curriculum. Selected topics may range from addressing the great questions of human existence such as What is a Good Life? or Who Owns the Past? to focusing on contemporary issues such as Sustainability, or Poverty, Economics and Revolution. The systemic problem-solving habits and research skills developed in this course will serve as the foundation for all further study in the Honors Scholar Program and therefore must be completed with a grade of “C” or better.
