About University Honors

HONORS HUMANITIES

Honors Humanities is a smaller, more structured program within University Honors. All Honors Humanities students are admitted to University Honors and, in addition, are invited to participate in Honors Humanities. The goal of this two-year program is to provide a powerful and enriched base for students from any major to enhance studies in the arts and humanities.

This residential program is built around specially designed Honors Humanities classes from Arts and Humanities departments and a team-taught interdisciplinary seminar in the second year.

Additional academic and cultural opportunities outside class are available. Students who successfully complete this rigorous program receive the Honors Citation in Honors Humanities.

Honors Humanities students have all of the rights, privileges, and resources available to University Honors students, including access to Honors courses, residence halls, facilities, programming and events, advising, academic support, scholarships, grants, and awards.

For more information, please visit the Honors Humanities.

"The Honors program has such a community spirit, bringing all different kinds of students together. Be it for a guest lecture or to share some ice cream, you always have friends to talk to in Honors." - Kristen Essig '07
