How do Honors courses differ from regular courses at Northeastern?
Honors courses are not designed to be more difficult than regular courses here at Northeastern. Instead, Honors course include a smaller class size and a more in depth discussion of the course content. Honors sections of regular classes meet the requirements for Northeastern’s core curriculum. In addition, the First Year Inquiry Series is designed for first-year Honors students. These courses cover a wide range of topics that are quite unique compared to the typical college curriculum. Lastly, there are Honors seminars for upper-class students which meet once a week, similar to a graduate course, and are more focused on classroom discussion than lecturing.
