The aim of the Honors College is to encourage students to reach beyond professional or specialized training to pursue a lifetime of active learning. The curriculum's intellectual breadth and emphasis on critical learning and communication skills help you meet this goal. Enrollment in Honors College courses rarely exceeds twenty-five, and most are offered in a seminar format that allows each student to take an active part in class discussions. Clark Honors College courses are taught by resident faculty members and by invited faculty members form various departments and schools. The resident faculty is a major asset, providing continuity in many course offerings and making possible the strong emphasis on advising.
Honors courses are especially numerous in the first two years.
Upper division work includes advanced honors courses and colloquia. To apply to the Honors College, students must submit a separate application, including an essay and letters of recommendation - by November 21 for early consideration or by the regular deadline of February 2.
