Honors Contract Courses for
Students in Organizational Communication
Juniors and seniors may take upper division courses in their major or minor as Honors
contract courses. These are courses that are not listed as Honors courses, but are
allowed to count for Honors credit. Students must meet with the course instructor
and agree on enriched or unique course projects/assignments that justify Honors credit.
Please see additional information located on the Honors College web page ( http://www.mtsu.edu/honors/hoption.php ). Students may take up to 4 hours of Honors contract courses.
