Students graduating from the Honors College have proven themselves to be stellar students. Members of the Honors College have pursued a rigorous academic program which satisfies all requirements of their academic departments and colleges and goes beyond those requirements to enhance learning. Throughout a student’s program of study, the Honors College has emphasized breadth of academic experience, by providing enhanced educational opportunities for selected, motivated, enthusiastic, diverse, and inquisitive students and fostering the pursuit of excellence in undergraduate higher education. The underlying philosophy of the program is that well-educated individuals should understand broad, interdisciplinary perspectives while demonstrating expertise in their chosen field. Most importantly, perhaps, the Honors College genuinely values the community, always seeking new and innovative ways to help students to gain a deep sense of belonging. We believe in honoring those whose actions uphold the highest standards of virtue and excellence, promoting equity, justice, and fairness, practicing resilience in the face of hardships and adversity, contributing to the wellbeing of all, human and other, through acting benevolently and kindly, and supporting those who need our help. *Candidates who will
