Student Learning Outcomes

The Honors Program allows students to take initiative in and get more out of their education.

What's "Honors" about Honors Coursework?

Our coursework isn't just harder or more fast-paced. We work with some of the best professors on campus to specifically design courses to foster critical inquiry, collaborative discussion, and intellectual growth. 

Our Student Learning Outcomes serve as a way to make sure the Program's Values and Mission are reflected in each Honors Course, Contract, or other academic opportunity. They serve as the goalposts professors aim for when assigning work to Honors students and give students the tools to measure their own growth throughout the Program.
