The Tier 3 capstone seminar integrates all three goal categories of the general education program: competencies, areas of knowledge and experience, and discussions of values.
Students may take a Tier 3 seminar after completing 6 Tier 2 courses.
Students may replace a Tier 3 course with the completion of a departmental honors thesis, HON 495. This option is available to all students, and not only those in the Honors College. If Tier 3 is restricted for the student’s major, the department chairperson can decide whether to allow HON 495 to replace the required departmental Tier 3 course.
Course Offerings:
To ensure students receive a meaningful education in an ever changing world, SCSU faculty regularly adapts the course offerings to provide cutting edge curriculum within each LEP area. Students access the most up-to-date course offerings through one of the many advising resources or by meeting with a professional advisor. Also prospective students can also receive advise by meeting with a member of our transfer student services team.
Note: Students in the Honors College are required to fulfill the Tier 1 Quantitative Reasoning and Multilingual Communication requirement. All other LEP requirements are met by the Honors College curriculum.
