A Read-Letter Day...
In this our inaugural newsletter, we in the Liberal Arts Honors Program hope to give you a glimpse of our students — their energy and creativity, their activities and accomplishments, in and out of the classroom — as they pursue a liberal education.
The Liberal Arts Honors Programs office seeks to create an honors community with the atmosphere of a small liberal arts college while simultaneously participating in the unparalleled resources of a large university.
Freshman Honors Program
The Freshmen Honors Program is a community of talented, highly motivated students selected from a competitive applicant pool. It offers special honors sections of introductory courses, taught by some of the most dynamic and accomplished professors on campus. Also available are opportunities to engage with other honors students in student government, volunteer work, field trips, cultural events, and the productions of a theater group and a literary magazine.
Academic advisers in the program are award-winning advisers who understand the challenges honors students face. First-year students are matched up with sophomore or upper-division Liberal Arts Honors students in a student-mentoring program. Freshman Honors Program students are also eligible to apply for honors housing and special scholarship opportunities.
