Mission

The Honors College seeks to develop a diverse community of inquisitive and aspirational learners from all parts of campus through distinctive and challenging educational experiences. Under the guidance of recognized teacher-scholars, this program offers students the opportunity to cultivate the habits of critical thinking, independent analysis and creative expression through classes and independent study. The program offers a setting in which students who share a similar enthusiasm for learning are brought together in intellectual fellowship and provides public recognition for superior academic achievement.
