Years 1 and 2: Honors Courses

For their first two years at UC Davis, UHP students take small, interactive classes with superb faculty that may fulfill University General Education (GE) and/or Major requirements.

UHP students are required to take six Honors courses in the first six quarters, one course per quarter. These courses allow students to build connections with professors and study in a group setting with like-minded students while completing university requirements for graduation.

One of the primary benefits of these courses is their small size: Honors GE courses are capped at 25 students, and Major required courses like Math and Biology have between 40 and 60 students.

While past syllabi of certain courses have been provided to help with students' decision making, please note that these are past syllabi and there is no guarantee that this syllabi will match the upcoming course's syllabi. In addition, not all syllabi have been uploaded, as the professor may not have sent a copy to UHP. We apologize for any inconveniences.
