Honors in a Special Course Sequence (SCS)
Honors in a Special Course Sequence (SCS) are awarded to students who successfully complete an approved SCS honors program. SCSs are unique course sequences outside of a major program, which provide students with an interdisciplinary perspective on topics of broad interest. By their nature, SCSs require curricular oversight and subject expertise across departments and/or colleges. SCSs are subject to the same unit minima as minors.
