Honors Benefits

Becoming a member of the Honors College includes many benefits. The smaller classes and other activities associated with the college, including special advisement, career planning, and service opportunities, help to create an interdisciplinary and interdependent community of scholars engaging one-on-one and as groups with each other and their professors, the university, and the wider community. One of the more popular benefits of being an Honors College member in good standing is Priority Registration. Honors College members have the opportunity to be the first group on campus to register for classes. This means our students get their first choice in courses, class times, and instructors. 

Other benefits of being a member include:

  • Priority Registration each semester for classes
  • Smaller class sizes
  • Fun socials
  • Study Away (Domestic) and Study Abroad (International) opportunities including cultural exchange with other universities
  • Special recognition at graduation
  • Close interaction with Honors instructors
  • Use of Honors facilities for study and fellowship
  • Day excursions and team building
  • Community service and service-learning opportunities
  • Opportunity to present scholarly work at symposiums and conferences
  • Build friendships and make Scholarly connections in a smaller learning community
  • Enhance your graduate school and employment opportunities
