Honors Program
The College Honors Program brings together academically accomplished and highly motivated students to pursue multidisciplinary studies in the natural sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities. Guided by rotating faculty experts, students regularly meet and work to explore how knowledge from different areas can be tested and integrated across disciplines.
This highly selective and challenging program is limited to 108 sophomores, juniors, and seniors from any major, and incorporates an honors colloquium—a series of interdisciplinary discussions—and a thesis. An emphasis on independent research prepares students for their intensive thesis projects, the results of which are published within the College. Honors students also publicly present their findings at the annual academic conference, a highlight of the academic year.
Additionally, some academic departments offer their own honors programs. Details of these programs can be found on the individual academic department Web sites.
