The Honors College

The University of Akron's Honors College supports an enriched education for curious, high-achieving students. This support includes:

• special honors sections of many introductory classes,
• honors discussion classes (colloquia),
• faculty advisers in the student's major,
• honors merit scholarships for many participants,
• the current honors residence with private bathrooms, and
• personal careers advisers from the Honors Program.

The Honors College is a special intellectual community within a metropolitan university that offers a variety of academic disciplines. An Honors College student:

• completes a major in one of the bachelor's degree-granting colleges,
• selects a set of honors-distribution courses in place of the University's General Education Program,
• participates in a series of honors seminars (colloquia), and
• creates a Seniors Honors Project.

The successful Honors Program student is recognized at graduation with an honors degree and the designation of University Honors Scholar.
