Cohen Honors Curriculum
Learning Outcomes
Pilot
The National Collegiate Honors Council defines honors education as "measurably broader, deeper, or more complex" than standard college or university education.
A group of faculty met throughout academic year 2020-21 and with feedback from students, faculty, and alumni, to develop an evaluation rubric based on the student-written college charter and validated AAC&U VALUE rubrics.
Faculty: Incorporate a minimum of two outcomes total from two different pillars and let us know how they work for your course.
