The University Honors Program, in conjunction with the Columbian College of Arts and Science, Elliott School of International Affairs, Duques School of Business, and Milken School of Policy, is offering a new multi-interdisciplinary course for Fall 2014 to emphasize synergy, synthesis, and synecdoche.
This new offering will satisfy both HONR 2047 and 2048. You may also have it satisfy HONR 2053 and 2054 if you petition (please note, the petition will require you to send an email.) The course is offered for between 3 to 15 credits. Students are not required to take a higher credit count to have the course count for multiple classes: everyone receives all of the double, triple and octuple counting they require.
The course will be taught in an octagonal room, with a carousel of eight rotating professors offering lectures on their chosen topic of research simultaneously. (The professors will be physically rotating on the carousel, not alternating lecture days.) Lunch will be provided by FoBoGro. All powerpoints will be uploaded to Blackboard and students are required to submit their class notes to a Moodle so others can use them. You must be willing to travel to the Schenectady, NY campus periodically for discussion, recitation, lab and workshop. Attendance will not be taken. Please note that there will be no written assignments, so this course cannot fulfill UW1020.

Happy April Fools’ Day!  This course, of course, will not be offered by the UHP.  You can find all of our (real) courses for the coming semester here, or you can giggle at last year’s April Fools’ Day post.
