Honors College

About the College

Our innovative curriculum helps high-achieving students grow intellectually, broaden their educational experiences, and create what’s next.

Through small class sizes, immersive internships, and individualized research opportunities, Honors College students are free to explore and forge their own educational paths.

Our instructors champion every student's intellectual growth. We encourage new and challenging ideas, academic rigor, and informed debate. Honors courses feel less like classes and more like conversations—guided workshops where everyone's input matters and different perspectives find common ground.

The Honors College curriculum lets students follow their curiosity wherever it may lead. Here, students cross traditional educational boundaries and learn by doing. From immersive classes to once-in-a-lifetime experiences, learners develop essential skills in preparation for graduate school, for career success, and for a lifetime of discovery.
