The University Honors Program (UHP) is rooted in humble beginnings. From advising a small group of 200 students in 1984, the UHP now boasts over 2500 graduates, with 900 students presently enrolled in the program. In addition to having access to wonderful small classes in every college, students in the Honors Program enjoy social events, cultural opportunities, speakers, films and advising sessions sponsored by the Program and by the Student Honors Council. Special Honors Study Abroad opportunities ensure that students can fulfill both Honors discovery category requirements and, occasionally, major requirements. Honors students know their faculty especially well, and can work closely with them over an extended period of time. Honors students are recruited for post-baccalaureate opportunities: international fellowships like Fulbrights, Marshalls and Rhodes; graduate programs in medicine, law, and the arts and sciences; and employment in a full range of competitive areas.
