About the Honors College

Our Mission

Our dual mission provides an innovatively delivered curriculum for high achieving students and
advances the intellectual growth and recognition of the university. Our program challenges a
diverse community of students to individualize their academic experiences, while serving as an
institutional champion for undergraduate research, interdisciplinary studies and creative
instruction.

Goals for Student Learning

Honors graduates will:

  • Identify resources and evaluate evidence used to support arguments or critiques in multiple academic disciplines.
  • Analyze the commonalities and discords of the different disciplinary perspectives.
  • Design independent inquiry projects that require critical and creative thinking.
  • Demonstrate effective research or performance skills in their academic discipline.
  • Connect their academic experience with local and global community experiences.
  • Experience interactive, innovative, and engaging instructional methods.
