What are the benefits of being in the Honors Program?

The benefits of being in the Honors Program are multifaceted. Students form strong connections with other Honors students and faculty, benefit from the small classes, form camaraderie during trips, and academically challenge themselves beyond coursework covered in the classroom.

Will my AP courses from high school count?

Every consideration is given to all students transferring in Advanced Placement Courses and High School College Courses (AP courses.)  Each student is evaluated individually based upon his or her major. AP courses may be used in lieu of Honors courses, Major Requirements and/or Elective Credits.
