How does the Wilkes Honors College differ from Honors Programs and other Honors Colleges?
In honors programs or at most other Honors Colleges, students take a limited number of honors courses or seminars, with the majority of their courses being the same as the courses taken by non-honors students at their university. At the Wilkes Honors College, our students take a full curriculum of honors courses designed for them. In honors programs or most other Honors Colleges, faculty teach only one or a few of their courses as honors courses, while the majority of their teaching is in their regular department at the University. At the Wilkes Honors College, the Honors College faculty are housed full-time in the Honors College. This allows our students and faculty to form a living-learning community that lasts throughout the students’ undergraduate careers. At the same time, our students and faculty are able to take advantage of the resources of Florida Atlantic University, a large and expanding public university with a wealth of opportunities.
