The Program, built around special sections of otherwise required courses, offers students the opportunity to have a larger role in how classes run. That often means leading discussions, experience-based assignments, and deeper dives into interesting subjects. Students in the Program are members of an active and diverse learning community.
In sum, the Honors Program allows you to make the most of your education.
