In the Honors Program, you’ll meet and collaborate with students from different places with diverse interests. You’ll have the opportunity to join the Honors Student Association and help shape the future of the Honors Program. The Honors Program strives to provide a supportive, inclusive academic and social community.
You also will have the opportunity to design and complete a major research project in your major field of study. Completing an Honors research project shows prospective employers and graduate admissions committees that you have taken on a complex project and seen it through to completion. This proof of your capabilities helps immensely when competing for a job or for admission to a graduate/professional program.
We strive to provide you with opportunities you might not otherwise have at the university. In the Honors Program, you can work with some of our best faculty, along with peers who share your interests and aspirations, within a supportive academic environment.
I’m delighted that you’ve taken the time to learn more about the Honors Program, and I look forward to hearing from you.
