ABOUT THE

The University Honors Program is designed to enroll, reward, and prepare academically gifted students, encouraging them toward intellectual initiative and independence.

The University Honors Program is committed to preparing globally astute and engaged community leaders. The Honors Program enriches the academic learning experience by providing the student every possible opportunity for reaching a level of maturity, independence, and scholarly achievement that might not be possible without such a program.

•Be effective in solving contemporary issues through critical thinking, analysis, and collaboration
•Be astute at identifying and engaging global issues, their context and ramifications in our world
•Develop refined research, writing, and communication skills through rigorous preparation
