Challenging Minds to Change the World
Honors students enjoy membership in a smaller community of learning while having access to the immense resources of a major research university. Membership in the Honors College includes exclusive courses, opportunities for individualized curricular planning, a dedicated academic advising team, smaller class sizes, access to graduate-level courses, priority registration and a wide range of experiential learning options—from research and pre-professional internships to community-based projects and distinctive study-and-travel courses. Honors students also enjoy access to Honors-only study areas, lounges and special events.
