The mission of the Honors program on the Newark Campus is to recruit and serve high-ability students.
Regional campuses retain an open admissions policy.
Consequently, efforts to enrich the mix of students are vital. Additionally, a certain percentage of students who are place-bound and do not have the option of going elsewhere have very high skills. They deserve Honors programming. The Honors program began on the Newark Campus in the early 1970's. There are usually 3 5-hour Honors classes offered per quarter.
