Since we draw students from across the university, the Honors Program provides a unique opportunity for similarly motivated students from different backgrounds and majors to interact and form friendships. In addition to Honors classes and colloquia, events such as the Honors Banquet, parties and conference trips, give students the chance to build these friendships. Students who want to build on their high school academic successes find new opportunities and challenges within the Honors Program. Our curriculum encourages critical thinking and appreciation for the complexity of human thought and values. Our small class sizes, taught by innovative faculty members, give students new freedom to challenge long-held beliefs, whether they be someone else's or their own.
Honors students enjoy several unique privileges.
Most receive Honors scholarships in addition to other financial aid from the university. Unlike other university scholarships, Honors scholarships can be used for summer courses. All of our students are offered the chance to live in Cosper Hall. One of the best dorms on campus, Cosper is typically restricted to ULM's best students. The only freshmen eligible for residency in Cosper are those in the Honors Program.
