Overview
Founded in 1962, the Honors College has a distinguished history of excellence in undergraduate education. The centerpiece of the Honors College is Engaged Learning Opportunities – signature experiences that bring students and community partners together in collaborations that result in real world applications. By addressing some of today’s most important and relevant issues, students engage directly with the world around them and learn how they can make a difference in their own communities. Honors students regularly go on to some of the nation’s best graduate programs.

Honors courses do not exceed an enrollment of 30 students, and the average student/faculty ratio is 17:1 [CITATION]. Class instructors are selected on the basis of their demonstrated teaching excellence. Honors faculty actively publish research in their fields and courses are often designed to coincide with current research activity. Occasionally, individuals from the community who have distinguished themselves in their profession are invited to teach in the Honors College [3].
