Academics

The Honors Program provides a comprehensive liberal arts curriculum to supplement major studies that will take our students through subjects in philosophy, science, art history, and more. Our students will also finish out their studies in the Program with a culminating senior thesis and a capstone course.

In addition to providing unique course opportunities to our students, all of these courses offer Honors students enriched options to fulfill school or major requirements. Students will find a broad range of courses varying each semester. Course topics can include economics, constitutional law, religion, race, medicine, and more. These courses often fulfill major, minor, or general education requirements for students. Honors students also gain access to priority registration.

Honors advising offers support to Honors students in addition to advisors through their schools and majors.
