课程
The 荣誉项目 offers a variety of courses that feature content 和 instructional methods to challenge the students, to provide a more active role for the students in the learning process, 和 to emphasize underst和ing more than the recitation of information.
Many courses are "variants" of courses in FSU's General Education Program (GEP PDF) (PSYC 151 Honors: General Psychology instead of PSYC 150 General Psychology). 荣誉变体 allow students to complete their general education requirements in smaller classes with an atmosphere geared to the needs of high-ability students.

Honors Course Enhancements
We offer Enhancement opportunities, which allow students to register for regular, non-Honors courses 和 receive Honors credit for the course. Students communicate with their non-Honors instructors to create an Honors level assignment in addition to normal coursework. After both the instructor 和 Director of the 荣誉项目 have approved the assignment, the student must complete the necessary documents 和 work prior to the conclusion of the semester. Upon work approval, the student will receive Honors credit. Enhancements will not replace Honors courses for metrics. 例如, Honors 住房 placement, particularly for Freshman students, is based primarily on Honors 课程. While Enhancements do qualify for completion of the program, they will not affect Honors 住房 placement.
