What are the benefits of being active in the honors college?
One of the goals of the UHC is to provide you with opportunities to maximize your individual attainment. To paraphrase the dean of the honors college: doing things well intellectually takes a combination of ingredients – time, talent, discipline, and curiosity. The curricular and co-curricular opportunities available through UHC may enable you to develop an academic program of study that prepares you well for your life after college – whether you move directly into a career after graduation or continue your education in graduate or professional school or take time off from your formal education to pursue some other activity (e.g., joining the Peace Corps or AmeriCorps). Aside from these extrinsic benefits through participation in UHC, there are intrinsic benefits as well – simply stated, students who enjoy intellectual stimulation find that UHC opportunities are interesting and fun.
