Half of your day will be spent in the interdisciplinary Honors Core Course.
All students will tackle some of the most basic and debated questions of human existence, such as “How do we discern the good from the bad?” or “What do we know? What do we believe? Is there a difference?” in the Interdisciplinary Honors Core Course. Working with professors from literature, philosophy, history, biology, and the fine arts provides a unique opportunity for a synthesis of ideas. You will be challenged to develop critical thinking skills through the analysis of great scholars’ arguments, group discussions, writing, and group presentations.
The other half of your day will immerse you in the field you find most exciting.
Choose from Discipline-based Courses such as:
- Biochemistry
- Constitutional Law
- Electro-optics
- Gender Studies
- Mathematics
- Nanochemistry
- Political Communication
- Psychology
- Shakespeare
You will find there is more to student life than going to class. Check out the planetarium, the music hall, library, local pizza places, and coffee shops. Plus, find out about campus clubs and organizations. This is your chance to explore the university and town of Indiana in a fun and supportive setting.
Even if IUP is not the right college for you, SHP will help distinguish you as a student who pursued a college experience while still in high school.
