Spring 2026 Featured Courses

CHEM 2444: Organic Chemistry (Storrs)

[UConn Storrs]

Instructor: Nicholas Leadbeater

Prerequisite: CHEM 2443 (Honors or non-Honors)

The material in Honors CHEM 2444 is much like that in the non-Honors sections of CHEM 2444, but it will go into more detail on various topics. It is also taught differently, with class periods dedicated to discussion and practice problems. Additional support is available from a graduate teaching assistant and undergraduate peer mentors.

CHEM 1148Q: Honors General Chemistry II (Storrs)

[UConn Storrs]

Instructor: Douglas Adamson

Prerequisite: CHEM 1147Q. If you took CHEM 1127Q or 1137Q and would like to enroll in CHEM 1148Q, email Prof. Adamson for permission.

This Honors version of CHEM 1128Q will complete the general chemistry sequence for any science major and for pre-med/pre-dent requirements.

CHEM 1148Q has a smaller lecture section than CHEM 1128Q. and it requires more personal initiative in the laboratory assignments. It also uses some calculus, compared to the algebra used in CHEM 1128Q.

BIOL 1107: Principles of Biology I (Storrs)

[UConn Storrs]

Instructor: Thomas Abbott

Introductory biology course covering topics from both molecular & cell biology and physiology & neurobiology. Intended for students who will continue into higher level science courses.

Two sections of Honors BIOL 1107 will be offered in Spring 2026. The Honors version is designed for students who will be conducting research in biology, so it is more interdisciplinary (basic chemistry) and inquiry-based, and the lab will expose students to a wider range of topics and techniques. To help prepare you for your first research position, the Honors version makes greater use of primary literature and includes more of the tools used in MCB/PNB research labs.

DMD 3620/HIST 3104: Collaborating with Cultural Organizations II: Practice (Conversion Opportunity; Storrs)

[UConn Storrs]

Instructor: Clarissa Ceglio

While this is not an Honors course, Prof. Ceglio welcomes Honors students of all majors and would be happy to offer Honors conversions for interested students. Recommended pre-requisites waived for Honors students.

Museums, archives, and other cultural organizations are spaces of digital media experimentation as they seek new ways to communicate ideas, make collections accessible, inspire learning, connect people, and build community. In this class we will undertake a project in partnership with a cultural organization. This will provide immersion in issues of contemporary practice while building collaborative competency in design thinking approaches.
