Exploratory Experiences
The Exploratory Experience is designed to allow you to search, discover, and learn more about yourself, society, and your chosen career path outside of the classroom. You have an opportunity to engage in the community – acquiring valuable skills, experience, and knowledge while earning points towards honors completion. Here are some ideas:
- Cultural Events
- Foreign Language Courses
- Internship (60+ hours)
- Job Shadowing (minimum of 2 experiences; hours will vary)
- Create an account on Job Links to monitor opportunities (follow the link above)
- On-Campus Employment
- Off-Campus Employment (related to chosen career path)
- Leadership
- LEAD 130
- Cavalier Leadership Program
- An officer in a club or organization on or off campus
- Service-Learning (20+ hours)
- Public Service (20+ hours)
- Study Abroad
- Global Awareness Program (GAP)
- Undergraduate Research
All Exploratory Experiences will only be counted after a reflection has been submitted. See an exemplary reflection written by one of our past honors students.
