Seminars
| Each year, the University Honors Program offers 15-20 Honors seminars in a wide variety of fields. Honors seminars are 3-semester-hour courses that are offered in the fall and spring semesters and occasionally during the summer semester. The seminars typically cover topics not covered by courses offered in the regular undergraduate curriculum. The seminars are limited to 16 students, allowing students a wonderful opportunity to get to know leading faculty at UAB. All honors courses are held in the friendly confines of the Spencer Honors House, a newly renovated church in the heart of the UAB campus.
