Not harder work, but different work

As it is an Honors program, the CHC promotes an academically stimulation environment. The CHC gives students the chance to think outside the box with honors sections of certain courses and honors specific courses as well. Prior to each semester a list of different courses that Honors offers is released, the classes that may be offered can differ from semester to semester. As the heading implies, work is not harder by any means but rather academically stimulating in a different way.

Another way that the CHC promotes outside the box thinking and learning is through the study abroad requirement. This was another reason that I was particularly excited to apply. Despite it being a requirement, there are many different trips and options available to all majors and all budgets. I have not studied abroad yet, but I cannot wait to start the process of planning what will be an adventure of a lifetime!
