*Honors Organic Chemistry labs (CHEM 346 & 347) do not fulfill additional Interdisciplinary Honors Core requirements. Students may be required to take O Chem labs for other requirements (ie, major requirements or pre-medical requirements) but those courses do not count towards the 47 credits needed to complete the Interdisciplinary Honors requirements.

These courses may not be appropriate for all students and each department has set certain entrance requirements to gauge “fit” for these courses (ie, placement test, AP/IB test score, etc). Review the full course descriptions for those details and how to register.

Diversity (DIV) Credit

If the course you are enrolled in as listed as a DIV course on our courses page, there is nothing you need to do for the course to be labeled DIV on your DARS. After each quarter ends Honors advisers manually mark the course as DIV for each student in DARS (which as you can imagine takes some time!). By the middle of the next quarter, your Degree Audit should correctly note the course as having fulfilled the DIV requirement. 

Compiled by the UAA Advising staff, these are primarily 100- and 200-level courses that have few or no prerequisites. Many of them fulfill General Education requirements. Included are new and unique offerings, courses that provide a good introduction to a major or field of study, and courses that are great for challenging your ideas about the Areas of Knowledge.
