Honors Seminars & Courses
Four intercollegiate, interdisciplinary seminars are the cornerstones of Macaulay Honors College study: The Arts in New York City, The Peopling of New York, Science and Technology in New York City, and Shaping the Future of New York. These must be taken in sequence, one during each semester of the first two years. Over the course of their four-year program, University Scholars will select a minimum of four additional honors-level courses (usually 3 credit courses) from a variety of offerings on their home campus or another CUNY campus, or a doctoral course at the CUNY Graduate Center.
University Scholars who major in a field that offers an honors option must select that option. In other fields, Scholars will write an honors thesis, submit an honors project, or participate in a senior colloquium.
