UT Tyler Honors Program
Honors Contract Courses
Within your major, you will choose two courses--typically junior and/or senior level--in which you will complete additional work under "contract" with a faculty member. Contracts may include an additional project, additional readings, additional meetings with a faculty member, additional research time in the faculty member's lab, etc. You will sign a contract at the beginning of the course with the faculty member specifying what you are "contracting" to do in addition to the normal requirements of the course. Your honors advisor will work with you and your major advisor to select the right courses and approve the contract.
Special Note for Honors students majoring in Biology:
