The academic program consists of an introductory seminar, a core of interdisciplinary seminars, and course requirements of the student’s major department and college.  These requirements are identical to those needed for graduation in Honors. John Marshall Scholars also are encouraged to become involved in university life by attending lectures and campus-sponsored programs in the arts. The Executive Director of the CAE works closely with John Marshall Scholars, helping each student to develop his or her academic program as well as providing group programming and special services.
