Through small seminar-style classes with LMU's best professors, student-created and student-led publications and programs, Honors housing, special events and speakers, and independent research opportunities, every student in the University Honors Program is encouraged to become a first rate scholar and citizen of the greater intellectual conversation. Honors students must take the Core courses designated “Honors.” All other Core courses may be satisfied through the university-wide Core course offerings.
