Introduction The four-year University Honors Program is designed to foster the academic development of outstanding students by enabling them to exercise greater responsibility and initiative in their academic work. Grounded in great works and ideas and a commitment to cultural diversity, Honors courses include Literature, History, Philosophy, Fine Arts, and Computer Information Systems courses satisfying the core requirements as well as a small number of higher-level courses in all the Schools of the University. Honors students attend a variety of social and educational events, on and off campus, throughout the academic year. Students gain access to the intellectual resources of the New York metropolitan region, a world-class range of cultural, political, and corporate institutions unmatched anywhere else.
Honors students receive special curriculum and advising options.
The successful student will have a richer, more innovative college experience and will become part of a distinguished community within the University. Honor students have the opportunity to work independently while shaping their own education. A network of lasting friendships is established with students and faculty.
