Honors College Benefits
Our College is a community of academically gifted students from all majors on campus.
Students take unique Honors classes and complete an Honors thesis or capstone project in their major, earning the Honors
medallion at graduation within their normal program of study. Honors students are
challenged to think more deeply and broadly about what they learn. With special academic,
cultural, and professional development opportunities, their education extends beyond
the classroom.
Honors students enjoy all of the following benefits:
- Enriched curriculum with discussion-based courses
- Direct and personal contacts with our top faculty
- Initiatives to learn outside the classroom, including unique research, service learning, study abroad trips, community engagement, and internship opportunities
- Lots of cultural and social events on and off campus
- Priority course registration
- Networking with other high-achieving students, community leaders, and alumni
- Access to newly renovated Honors-exclusive housing in MacKinnon, Scott, and Tucker Halls as well as preferred access to the Honors Academic Village, the newest residence hall on campus
- Specialized programming for commuter and residential students within the Honors Learning
