Academic Program


  For the summer 2008 program, students will choose one of four courses: “The Postmodern Novel,” taught by Melanie Wright;  “Shakespeare and Film,” taught by Alan Velie.
  These are six-hour credit courses and take place in Norman (June) and Oxford (July).
  “Law, Justice, and Mercy” taught by Judge Robert Henry of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, and Alan Velie. “Oxford and Archaeology,” taught by Christine Finn. These are three credit hours and take place entirely at Oxford in July.

   Students using National Scholars or Regents scholarship money must be full-time, taking at least six hours; consequently, those who choose the 3-hour credit course must take another three hours, either a class in June or independent study hours. (Those who do not have summer scholarship support may take either a 3-hour or 6-hour credit course.) Each section fulfills Honors credit, and western civilization and culture upper division hours. Because the prefix is HON for each course, students may count it outside their majors.
   Students may choose to take the course Pass/No Pass, and must indicate this option when enrolling. No changes may be made once the courses begin in June. Students must ask their academic advisors whether the course will count as general education credit if they choose the Pass/No pass option.
