Honors Student Application [Student Application]
The Honors Program Courses provide a forum for faculty and students to engage in special courses. The Honors Program is open to all students whose desire to learn is not bounded by traditional disciplines and classrooms.
In addition, Honors students should
- have the intellectual curiosity to pursue independent research
and creative endeavors,
- be committed to sharing their knowledge with others,
- be committed to improving their skills in reading and writing.
Students apply to the Honors program by writing a letter that summarizes their learning experiences and how they envision contributing to the program.
