Abstract
As an ex-honors program/college CEO, the question raised by this Forum— ”What is an Honors (fill in the blank)?”—got me reminiscing about the old days. In some sense the best answers are the obviously circular answers. An honors student is a student participating in an honors program. An honors curriculum is the curriculum required to graduate with honors and is made up, obviously, of honors courses. The people teaching those courses are by necessity honors faculty. But how can an honors course be identified? Well, it is one populated by honors students that meets some curricular requirement of an honors program and is taught by an honors faculty member!
