You’re academically driven, and the Honors College is rich in experiences tailored for you. Here, you will be part of a close-knit community of peers who—along with Honors faculty—will challenge you through exciting research, unique projects, and out-of-class opportunities that connect you with what you care about. It is an enrichment program open to students of all majors.
“Honors classes are an opportunity to truly think deeply about a subject and discuss ideas and opinions with peers who are engaged in the topic. Honors classes are unlike any other opportunities on campus.”
– Taylor Hartman, Geology major, ‘17
As an Honors College student, you’ll have access to research, international education with study abroad and Interdisciplinary Global Programs, service learning, exclusive scholarships, and leadership opportunities that will prepare you to meet the future on your terms. One of the highlights in the Honors College is the ability to participate in exclusive opportunities for learning and research outside the classroom, such as our Canyon Country Aesthetics.
