  1. 12:45 – How Does Honors College Curriculum Relate to the Larger OSU Curriculum? – Toni Doolen – Honors College Dean, Susan Jackson Rodgers – Honors College Associate Dean,  Viktor Bovbjerg, Honors College Council Chair
    • Honors College Learning Outcomes and Curricular Requirements
    • Honors degrees are jointly conferred degrees, so it differs from a double degree or dual major which is why it is called out separately on the registrar's website:  https://registrar.oregonstate.edu/double-degrees-dual-majors-honors-degrees-0.
    • Because the Honors College is a degree-conferring college, there are unique and specific learning outcomes, which are delineated in the course catalog, as well as the website provided above. Toni copied Dr. Viktor Bovbjerg, who chairs the Faculty Senate Honors College Council (HCC), on the request to meet with the Curriculum Council since curricular structure, content, and degree requirements are overseen by the HCC as detailed in the HCC standing rules included below. 

Standing Rules:

The Honors College Council has jurisdiction over the policies and procedures of the Honors College and advises the Honors College Dean. The Honors College Council is responsible for admission and other academic requirements including degree requirements; criteria for selection of the members of the Honors Faculty; maintenance and regular assessment of program quality; and the curricular structure and content of the Honors College.

The Honors College Council consists of at least six current or former Honors College Faculty members and at least two Students, the students appointed from among the Honors College students.

Administration of the Honors College rests with the Dean, who shall be an ex-officio, non-voting member of the Honors College Council.
