How are students selected for the Honors Program, and what does membership entail?
Admission to the Honors Program is by invitation only. In recent years, admission has been offered to approximately the top 5% of admitted students. Each of the four undergraduate schools (College of Arts & Sciences, Carroll School of Management, Connell School of Nursing, and Lynch School of Education) offers its own Honors Program. While they differ in requirements and coursework, each provides extraordinary challenges: small classes, close attention from instructors, and a classroom community of highly focused students. Students take part in Honors courses throughout the first three years and finish the program in their Senior year by completing an independent project or Honors thesis with the guidance of a faculty member.
