We believe in asking big questions. (And answering them, too.)

As an Honors student, you have the opportunity to investigate an important question as part of your Honors Thesis project. Completed projects are as diverse and ambitious as creating solar-powered, easy-to-use equipment to sterilize medical devices, pursuing neuroscience research to better understand Alzheimer's disease and working on Arabic oral history projects in Fez, Morocco.

Whatever your topic, you'll undertake an independent, substantial research and writing endeavor. And in the process, you'll earn six credit hours — and contribute new knowledge to your field.

The classroom isn't the only place you'll learn and grow. Far from it, in fact.

From the welcome program for new, first-year Honors students to art exhibitions and symposiums, the Honors Program hosts events throughout the year that allow students, faculty and experts to gather together and celebrate the scholarship and talents of our students.
