The William Peace University Honors Program is a 14-credit-hour experience. During the program, students take three, four-credit-hour courses:
HON 100: Investigating Ethical Leadership, which sets the foundation for the program with a focus on ethical leadership, dialogue, and peacebuilding;
HON 200: Critically Thinking About Justice, which focuses on concepts of justice, or the legal, divine, and philosophical theories by which fairness is administered;
HON 300: Exploring Human Connections, which includes critical reflection on culture and community as well as a travel component to further explore these themes.
In addition, Honors students complete a one-hour capstone experience, either HON 493: Engaging in Community or HON 492: Honors Directed Study where they have the opportunity to work with a faculty mentor in their discipline on independent research, serve as a TA, or complete a service-learning experience alongside a faculty mentor.
The final one-credit hour leadership experience is HON 400: Launching Peace Leaders. In this course, students reflect on their leadership development during the program and set goals for the future.
