Mission and Student Learning Outcomes

The University Honors Program aims to serve talented, committed, self-motivated students with an enriched undergraduate liberal arts education. 

Toward this end, it provides special classes, emphasizing active and collaborative learning and innovative teaching and learning approaches; co-curricular activities; opportunities for diverse academic, social, and professional growth; and qualitative service-learning work as part of the Program Capstone experience.

The University Honors Program further demands of students a sustained commitment to excellence and an active engagement with the Program, with faculty and other students, and with the University.

Student Learning Outcomes

1. Students thoroughly (systematically and methodically) analyze their own and others’ assumptions and carefully evaluate the relevance of contexts when presenting a position. 
2. Students interpret intercultural experience from the perspectives of their own and more than one worldview and demonstrate the ability to act in a supportive manner that recognizes the feelings of another cultural group.
3. Students learn to make decisions that provide for the needs of the world's current population while considering future generations, exploring viable economies, equity and justice, and ecological integrity.
4. Students pursue substantial, additional knowledge and/or actively pursue independent educational experiences.
