Honors introduced me to situations and questions completely out of my field - chaos theory, particle science, Internet politics, and policy-making to name a few.

Built upon current and emerging problems in science, technology and society, Honors courses explore new frontiers in the creation of knowledge. The four-year curriculum comprises an integrated progression that develops skills in solving complex problems, with course content reflecting the variety of participants' academic and social perspectives. The sequence culminates in an Honors thesis project in which each senior selects, defines and explores an unsolved problem.
