  Honors Programs  
  The most academically qualified students admitted to either the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) or the School of Management (SMG) are invited to participate in one of two Honors Programs.

For students in CAS, the Honors Program offers advanced sections of more than 30 different classes each semester, including honors sections of the Core Curriculum. Each semester, freshman and sophomore honors students choose one course in the honors Program. Once they have successfully completed any four honors courses, students are qualified to receive an honors designation on their transcripts. As seniors, they are strongly encouraged to participate in Work for Distinction, two semesters of individual research under the direction of a faculty advisor that culminates in a thesis and leads to graduation with distinction in their concentration.

The Honors Program within SMG provides a challenging and stimulating curriculum for academically talented management students. Students enroll in special sections of required management courses, participate in the College of Arts and Sciences' Core Curriculum, and collaborate in research with faculty guidance to produce senior theses. They also have the opportunity to explore internships during the summers, as well as study abroad.
