"Students with SAT scores of 1100 or better are invited to join," Dillard said. "They take a special year-long freshman honors seminar and choose four of six honors core curriculum classes: English 1102, History 2112, American Government 1101, Chemistry 2111, American Literature, and Environmental Science."
