Our Mission Statement

The Honors Program provides opportunities for talented and motivated undergraduates to excel in their academic studies. Students complete a challenging enquiry-based curriculum that encourages learning through independent research and creative expression. They enjoy intimate and personalized educational experiences within the setting of a large research university through small classes, dedicated advising, peer mentoring and faculty-guided projects.

The Honors program promotes oral and written communication skills and critical thinking; respect for diversity and commitment to social justice; and civic participation and a capacity for leadership. It fosters among its students and faculty a sense of identity and a joy of learning, which is communicated to the university and the community.
