The benefits of participating in the honors program are plentiful -
here are just a few:
Individual Honors Curriculum
Honors students work with a faculty advisor to create a unique curriculum that lets them explore their interests.
Additional Scholarship Opportunities
You can earn additional scholarship dollars for your extra efforts. These scholarships are "merit-based" and evaluated on the basis of the research proposal. The amount varies based on the quality of research proposal.
Honors Courses
Students are requested to schedule honors courses and/or upper division courses to meet requirements in the GEC section of the honors curriculum. Generally, more than 100 courses are available throughout the university as honors courses each year.
Individual Advising
Students work closely with a faculty advisor to map out their honors curriculum and project plan.
Priority Scheduling
Honors program students are given priority scheduling. You'll be able to schedule your classes before other students who are not in the honors program.
Special Recognition
Honors courses are designated as such on official university transcripts. Students who complete their honors program with at least a 3.5 CPHR and satisfactorily complete the honors thesis and exam will graduate with distinction in their major area of study.
Career Preparation
Employers value problem-solving and communication skills. They are eager to hire students who are strong, analytical thinkers and who are driven to learn.
Students in the honors program gain and build all of these skills, making them highly marketable when they graduate.
If you're considering graduate or professional school, the honors program will definitely prepare you for such studies.
