Minor in Honors Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts

Minoring in Honors is a deeper commitment to interdisciplinary studies than the Certificate, and a perfect addition to any major on campus.

 Requirements (21 Credit Hours):

  • Maintenance of a 3.2 cumulative GPA
  • The successful completion of 21 credit hours in Honors courses, including:
    • 3 credit hours in each of the following levels
      • HNRS 1000
      • HNRS 2000
      • UHON 300
      • UHON 400
    • 9 additional credit hours in HNRS or UHON of any level or in approved honors courses in other units.

At least 15 credit hours must be completed in HNRS or UHON courses. Up to 6 credit hours may come from approved courses offered by other units (if they are not also counting toward other major or minor requirements).

 

Alternative Entry Path Requirements

For students beginning in Honors with significant prior college coursework (30 or more earned credits at UNM or another university or college, excluding AP credits), it is possible to follow an alternative path to a Minor in Honors Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts. Students meeting this criterion can opt to forgo an HNRS course at the 1000 or 2000 level and instead complete their credit hours from Honors courses at other levels.
