Honors College
I have taken many honors courses throughout my time at Pace including public speaking, an introductory law class, a nursing class, a psychology class, and I am currently taking a religous studies class. I have also taken part in the 'honors option' where I was able to do more in-depth reserch in a class of my choice which was a great chance for me to learn more on my own. My favorite class was the psychology one which was Psychology of Happiness and the Good Life, I would definitely recommend it. My honors classes have been in a wide range of disciplines and I enjoy having the opportunity to take these classes within the Honor's College. I am definitely looking forward to my future classes.
