Recognizing and Supporting High Academic Achievement

Honors programs in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences support and acknowledge the exceptional academic accomplishments by our students. The programs are highly varied, and may be customized to students' interests. Each, however, encourages students to develop their intellectual gifts as well as their breadth of experience.
