First Year Honors Programmatic Cohorts*
USCB Beaufort College Honors (BCH) has three main groups to ease transition into Honors university life:
- Biology
- Nursing
- Open Major (includes all BCH students who are not in either biology or nursing majors)
The three honors cohorts take classes on the Beaufort campus during their first year. Biology and Nursing cohorts have two years of classes in Beaufort campus with four semesters of discipline specific Honors Seminar courses. All students in the Open Major cohort are required to take two semesters of the Honors Seminar UNIV B200 during their first year at USCB.
The honors program offers small class sizes to support each student's smooth transition to university-level academics as well as opportunities to participate in local internships and research. A special Honors Orientation and Welcome Seminar provides students with a focused introduction to USCB and the Honors Program. Further, excursions to local historical, environmental, course-related and festive sites provide an orientation to professional possibilities and to the beauty and fun points of interest in the SC Lowcountry, including festivals, parks, recreational activities, etc.
For more information on these cohorts, please contact honors@uscb.edu.
