Welcome to The University Honors Program!

While you may know that the University Honors Program provides an enhanced academic experience for intellectually motivated students, you may not know that it also draws together an entire community of peer scholars attracted by a history of academic excellence and intellectual curiosity.

Our program encourages community by providing an Honors residential hall, dynamic Honors courses, a comprehensive mentoring program, individual advising, and enjoyable Honors activities; as a result, students who participate in the University Honors Program discover that being a part of Honors can be more than a distinction; it can be an enriched University experience.
