Are you interested in innovating and collaboration to address humanitarian challenges? If so, the Innovation Pathway might be for you!
University Honors Program members make the most of their academic experience by designing an individualized Honors Advisory Program. The Innovation Pathway is a structured opportunity for honors students to work in interdisciplinary teams on a yearlong capstone project that focuses on one or more of the humanitarian challenges in the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which include poverty, gender equality, clean water, affordable clean energy, responsible consumption, and quality education. The focus of this pathway is to innovate and collaborate to address some of humanity's most pressing challenges.
Like the College Pathway, honors students need to complete two honors seminars, two honors courses, and a capstone project. For the Innovation Pathway, students will take:
- Honors course 1: A 3000-level Leadership Studies course or another approved course
- Honors course 2: A 3000-level English course (ENGL 3020/3090/3140) or another approved course
- Two seminars from the Innovation Pathway List
- HON 4900B: Independent Study: Innovation Pathway (1 credit, fall; 3 credits, spring)
The Innovation Pathway advisory program of study (POS) can be found here. For questions, please contact the University Honors Program (honors@iastate.edu).
