HONORS FORUM CURRICULUM
The Honors Forum offers a supportive intellectual
community for all highly motivated Skidmore students,
and especially encourages the academic aspirations of
first-year and second-year students. The “forum,” as the
name suggests, is intended as a structure for organizing
and promoting the common interests of an academic
community. Some students are invited to become
official members of Honors Forum, thus constituting a
leadership core for the larger student community.
Designated sections of regular course offerings and
courses developed especially for the Honors Forum
expect a high degree of involvement from participants,
employ more sophisticated materials and pose more
complex questions, and provide an unusually challenging
academic experience. In a typical semester, Honors
Forum courses might be offered in art history, chemistry,
economics, geology, literature, and mathematics.
