Student Spotlight
“The Honors Program at Â鶹¹ÙÍø is such an amazing opportunity for students looking to enhance their academic experiences. With a wide selection of subjects, honors students have no problem finding four courses of interest. For me, it was so great to increase my knowledge on topics outside of my major. Classes are intimate and very hands-on. It has been wonderful getting to know the other honors students and taking this journey with them. I cannot thank Â鶹¹ÙÍø enough for the opportunity to be a published honors student!”
