The Honors Program You can expect small classes, excellent teaching, exciting research opportunities, special extracurricular activities, and contact with some of the best minds on campus. The Honors Program involves students in every college at every class level. Honors students include musicians, artists, and athletes. Their majors range from accounting to history. If you re a top student generally with SAT scores at least 1150 and in the upper fifth of your high school class we welcome your application.
Honors students receive priority scheduling of classes.
Many enroll in independent study courses and honors colloquia, which explore such issues as recovered memory, Arthurian Legend, and cyberspace. The Honors Program regularly sponsors trips to New York, Baltimore, and Washington. Every year, two students earn full scholarships to take part in a state-wide summer program that often takes place abroad. Recently, students have traveled to Vienna to study its history and to the North of England to take part in a Roman archaeological dig. Graduating seniors are recognized at Awards Day, in the commencement program, and on their transcript.
