II. PROJECT SUMMARY
The Honors Program is designed to broaden the knowledge base of undergraduate students through an in-depth study of oral and written discourse, philosophy and logic, literature and aesthetics, the natural sciences, and classical rhetoric.

The program is designed for the superior student to develop his or her full potential in both liberal and specialized study. The Honors Program offers a plan leading to a Bachelor's degree with honors. The Program combines mentor concepts and individual instructional strategies in small interactive classes. The purpose is to build a community of exceptionally able students within the University by providing encouragement and stimulation for their academic development.
