A challenge beyond your major!
The University Honors Program provides motivated, passionate, and engaged students with opportunities that will support the achievement of their intellectual goals.
The program emphasizes teaching excellence in small seminar-style classes that feature innovative, interdisciplinary subjects and offer a high degree of intellectual creativity. Honors students have numerous opportunities for interaction with faculty and a cohort of their peers through specialized coursework, focused academic advising, and peer mentoring.
My honors classes provided a space where I was able to have discussions with classmates and was challenged to think critically about current issues in the world. The University Honors Program also helped me to develop interpersonal skills and consider others' perspectives.

Being in the University Honors Program, as well as being a student-athlete, helped with my time management skills. The University Honors Program has improved my reading skills, writing skills, and critical thinking skills—all of which I have applied to my life after graduation.

The courses are very interdisciplinary, making it fun—I was genuinely motivated to learn and partake in the conversations. The classmates I met through the program have been most meaningful, as we grew together since Freshman year.
