Our Mission Statement
The University Honors Program assures students with superior academic talent maximal opportunity to seek advantage in their use of the University curriculum, the opportunity to seek professional association with the senior faculty, the opportunity to refine their notions of responsibility and civility, and the opportunity to form a community of scholars with similar students. In addition, those students seeking entry into professional schools will be advised through an office specifically committed to their needs.
