Honors Program

Once accepted into the program, you have the option of taking honors sections of regular courses, attending special guest lectures, and being publicly recognized for your academic achievements. You are also given preferential opportunities in the enrollment process.

You may also choose to enter into a "Contract of Honors" with professors in certain courses you take. This contract specifies additional requirements for honors credit and requires special approval from the Honors Council.
