Program Description
Distinguished members of the faculty teach the Honors Program classes in a seminar style, assisted by doctoral students. The doctoral students serve as teaching assistants, role models, and mentors to the Honors Program students. Honors Program students write a senior thesis and are encouraged to present their honors research at a national conference. One objective of the program is to nurture undergraduate research skills and prepare students for success in graduate school and professional careers.
