<p>I know there have been a couple of threads about these, but I'm a bit confused. How exactly do these seminars work? Can anyone sign up for them or do you have to be invited? I know they're required of Presidential Honors Scholars, but can other students take them as well? Also, do they count as a normal, four credit class and if so, are there any advantages to taking one besides simply taking an interesting seminar?</p>
<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>I’d like to know about this too. My mom says I should take one relating to my major in order to use the connections / academic advising, but I kind of want to branch out and take something that just seems interesting.</p>
<p>Also, when is the deadline to turn in the form for this?</p>
<p>its required if you are a presidential scholar. they give you a packet listing the course you can choose/deadline/code/ect ect. The honors seminar is basically a regular class but small. typically 10-15 students and counts as 4 credits. President Sexton’s course is suppose to be one of the more difficult seminars. You get an essay a week and a good load of work.</p>
<p>You do not have to pick one related to your major. Most students just pick one that looks fun or seems appealing.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info, but what I really want to know is whether anyone can sign up for them or if you have to be selected. I’m not a presidential honors scholar but am still pretty interested in taking one.</p>
<p>My S got a letter encouraging him to take either a Freshman Honors Seminar or a Collegiate Seminar. The letter did not call him a Presidential scholar. He is going to orientation at the end of June. I thought he could ask about the seminars when he finalizes his course selection. The seminars sound good in theory, but I am not sure how they fit with his overall core requirements.</p>
<p>you need to speak with advising about it. if it isn’t required, most people just take the MAP courses. its about the same. just without the title of honors</p>
