The University offers the Honors Program to provide an exciting intellectual challenge for highly motivated students with above average high school records. The program is designed to facilitate learning through special small classes which permit a high level of student-faculty interaction. Honors students may be in any major offered at the University. The curriculum fulfills a portion of the University core requirements for graduation for all majors.
Freshmen take a one-week Early Course before the fall semester.
Honors students choose one course each semester from among the Honors courses offered. These courses cover all areas of the core and they are offered on a rotating basis. In the junior year Honors students select a topical seminar. Seniors complete a project or thesis in their major subject under the supervision of a faculty member.
