Honors Program

Mission Statement

revised 03/19/02

The Honors Program seeks to create a community of students and faculty united by the pursuit of academic excellence in an innovative, personal, and interactive learning environment.  The main goals of the program are (1) to enhance the undergraduate experience by providing a challenging and creative curriculum, as well as a broad range of opportunities for leadership activities and social interaction; (2) to provide a preparation for post-graduate education through a program of seminars, independent study and individual research; and (3) to enrich the post-graduate life of all students by fostering intellectual curiosity and a love of learning, an appreciation for artistic expression, and an awareness of the responsibilities and rewards of good citizenship.  To attain these goals, the Honors Program believes that students should be well-grounded in the liberal arts, engage in exploration and research, develop and articulate personal perspectives through strong oral and written communication skills, work toward a respectful understanding of the complexity and diversity of the world around them, and become active participants in the life of the campus and the local community.
