Schreyer Honors College
The Schreyer Honors College is a University program for students with excellent SAT I scores, outstanding high school records, and a commitment to serious academic and intellectual pursuits. In concurrence with their Honors Adviser, Honors students may tailor their own special academic program from a wide variety of special honors courses, honors sections of regular courses, independent study and research, graduate courses and honors options in regular courses. The Schreyer Honors Program encourages the fundamental elements of education -- interaction between faculty and student -- through its emphasis on honors classes of reduced size, individual study and research, seminars and discussions. It is designed to broaden the students' general education, as well as deepen their preparation for graduate study or a profession.
