Benefits OF THE University Honors Program
The University Honors Program offers students a wide range of benefits, including
- Small Classes: Honors courses are limited to 20-25 students, which allows for significant discussion and interaction between professors and students.
- Innovative Classes: Students in the UHP have the opportunity to take innovative, often team-taught seminars specially designed for and limited to Honors students.
- Outstanding Faculty: Members of the Honors faculty are selected for their teaching skills and ability to mentor students.
- Early Registration: Students active in the UHP are permitted to register for classes early to coordinate Honors offerings with their other courses.
- Community: The Honors community is special in that its members come from all of the university's colleges while sharing a commitment to academic excellence and personal and intellectual challenges. It is a diverse, energetic group that likes to work and have fun together. Its student association, UHSA, plans social events and service opportunities that are open to all UHP members.
- Special Recognition: Graduating seniors who complete the Honors curriculum and who have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher are honored at an awards ceremony with the Honors Medallion, which is also worn at graduation.
