The Honors College continuously works to build a diverse group of students within the program while supporting their success. Administrative modifications within the Honors College, such as test blindness related to SAT and ACT score submissions, and additional application deadlines are among the efforts made to break down barriers to admission.
“The Honors College offers wrap-around student support, smaller class sizes, personalized research and other engaged learning experiences, peer mentoring, study and programming space, and a small community of curious and motivated students with whom to interact in and out of the classroom," Kristy Sheeler, dean of the Honors College, said. "Students from all backgrounds should have the opportunity to pursue an honors education on our campus."
