Vision and Mission of the Honors & Scholars Program

Vision

The Honors Program demonstrates its commitment to academic and cultural growth, civic awareness and student success by fostering a community of intellectually curious global citizens.  Through the Honors Program, students are encouraged to develop rigorous and comprehensive critical thinking, their sense of integrity and a commitment to service.

Mission

The Honors Program inspires students to explore new areas beyond the experiences they’ve had.  Through a vibrant, supportive community of faculty, staff and students, the program emphasizes opportunities to exercise disciplined critical thinking, make connections between disciplines, develop global awareness, participate as community citizens, and engage fully in their education.  We do this through an interesting variety of small seminar classes taught by motivated faculty, individualized attention from a dedicated staff, and a vibrant student-directed social life.
