Overview

The Honors Program provides students the opportunity to fulfill many of their Core requirements in a small, rigorous learning community.  Students work closely with faculty in seminar-style courses with an average of 16 students per class.  These courses tap and develop the curiosity, creativity, and motivation of every student.

All Honors Program work stresses independent/interdisciplinary learning, critical thinking, and the development of skills in research, writing, and oral expression.  Inviting a dynamic mix of traditional and nontraditional age students, current or transfer students (full- or part-time) within any major are eligible for the program and there is no residential requirement. Students may enter at various points in their academic career in consultation with Student Success/Honors staff and/or faculty mentors.  They complete the program with a self-designed thesis capstone project advised by a committee of the student’s choosing.
