Participation in Honors exposes students to a wider range of intellectual and academic experience, provides enriching extracurricular activities, promotes rewarding interaction between students and honors faculty, and gives students the opportunity to form lasting friendships with other students committed to academic excellence.

Commencement award The Honors Program curriculum serves to supplement and enrich the student’s overall experience within any of the university’s major fields of study. Honors classes are generally smaller in size, providing increased class participation and discussion. Students in Honors grow through special classes that stress the interrelatedness of knowledge; skill in oral and written communication of ideas; and methods and techniques for the analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of information.

In addition to priority registration, honors students have the opportunity to live in Honors housing . Participating in Honors housing, especially during the freshman year, also facilitates the mentoring program sponsored by the Honors Student Council. The designation of University Honors Scholar is awarded to those students who successfully complete the honors curriculum, a distinction which is noted on both the diploma and the official transcript.
