Applied knowledge: Students will apply knowledge and skills, both collaboratively and individually, by utilizing experiential learning.

Research or creative competency: Students will undertake a coherent research or creative project to contribute to the creation of new knowledge.
Critical thinking: Students will employ critical thinking to work towards solving problems of the future.
If you are struggling to meet any of these expectations, please meet with an Honors Advisor. They are here to help and support you in successfully completing Honors degree programs.
Students pursuing either an Honors Concurrent major or minor degree will also be pursuing degrees in other programs. We work collaborately with other degree programs on campus to support you in your educational pursuits.
Are you majoring in Engineering or Computer Science? Please note that Honors students majoring in Engineering or Computer Science are automatically enrolled in a separate program called Honors Engineering, which has additional requirements beyond the Honors degree program requirements that are set forth by the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences.
Alternatively, Honors students majoring in Engineering and Computer Science have the option to elect not to participate in this separate Honors Engineering program and instead pursue either the Honors concurrent major degree (beginning in fall 2024) or the Honors minor degree alongside their Engineering or Computer Science major. Please meet with your major and Honors advisors to make this election.
