Curriculum 

UHL courses are taught in a learner-centered environment with continuous faculty and student engagement. Students hone their critical thinking skills by analyzing issues from alternative perspectives. A weekly seminar series during your first year complements the UHL curriculum and features speakers from a variety of sectors including academia, business and government. Seminar topics range from hot-button policy issues of the moment to the latest in scientific discovery. 

During your tenure in UHL you will explore elective classes in both Leadership Studies and Academic Honors. Over the two years, you will take nine elective credit hours. 

Two UHL Senior Seminar courses wraps up your UHL experience. The courses may be taken in any order and can be completed in the same semester.
