The centerpiece of the Snider Honors Program is the honors seminar. As we seek to understand and enact the phrase cultural transformation in Christ - the heart of the mission statement of King College - the seminar focuses on a single topic from a variety of academic disciplines each semester. The seminar is offered every semester but the topic changes each time it is offered. The topics generally revolve around contemporary issues related to globalization international policy philosophy and world events. Honors students may begin taking the Honors seminars in the second semester of their freshman year. Those taking the course for the first time should register under HONR 1110 the second time 2110 the third 3110 and the fourth 4110. All seniors (and possibly some juniors) taking the course are expected to tutor the younger students helping with papers and leading small-group discussion sessions. 10% of the final grade for such tutors will be based on the quality of their instruction and partly evaluated by the small group they have led.
