The Honors Program provides a living-learning community in Richardson Towers that gives first-year and upper-class students an opportunity to take classes, participate in social activities, and live with other academically talented students. Students take core interdisciplinary honors classes together throughout their first year. Because all first-year students have common classes and a shared living environment, a strong learning community is created. First-year students also benefit from living in the same community as upper-division students who are familiar with the Honors Program and share similar academic interests and aspirations.
In addition to the numerous social programs offered in this community, students will benefit from greater interaction with Honors faculty outside of the classroom and opportunities to participate in special programs designed to enhance academic and personal success.
