Course Information

A major benefit of living in Honors LLC is the opportunity to enroll in our on- and off-site courses.

Many of our courses meet general education requirements while others are elective credit depending on your academic program.

All first-year Honors LLC residents must enroll in LEAD 116: Honors Uncommon Reads. This 8-week, one credit-hour course explores social justice topics. All sections of the course will meet in ISR. 

Honors LLC residents can also enroll in DTX 180: Exercising Empathy.

Empathy can play a role in everything we do. Understanding empathy enables us to live full and intentional lives. How do we become compassionate people? When we approach and address problems in our world, how do we ensure we consider others, their perspectives, and their needs? This course introduces six core values and provides students with a foundational understanding of empathy.

Prerequisite: Restricted to Honors Living-Learning Community students.
