Honors Living-Learning Communities

The Honors Program provides a framework that helps students develop as scholars, lifelong learners and contributing members of their communities. To support this mission we offer special Honors housing, a community for talented students who take learning seriously, respect one another and like to have fun.

Honors Seminars

Honors Fellows may concentrate their studies in any major. In their first two years, Honors Fellows take special liberal arts seminars designed to provide intellectual growth and challenge within a supportive small-class framework.

Thesis Research
