Courses


OHIO WESLEYAN’S highly specialized and advanced Honors Courses are open only to honors scholars. Throughout your four years at OWU, you’ll be able to take Honors Courses in the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and fine arts. Honors Courses bring together a professor or professors and a small class of honors scholars to explore a topic of special interest.

Many Honors Courses are one-time offerings designed by a faculty member specifically for the Honors Program. Therefore, descriptions are not included in the course catalog.

Sometimes, Honors Courses are a special section of an existing course, modified to meet the rigors of honors-level study. You may read more, move through the course material more rapidly, or be expected to participate more than others who take the course.

Your Honors Courses will count towards general graduation requirements. Depending on the nature and subject matter of the course, your advanced study may meet distribution, writing competency, or major/minor requirements as well.
