About |
Open to talented and highly motivated students of all majors, the University Honors Program is designed to challenge and broaden the intellectual growth of UNC Charlotte's most gifted students. Through a series of interdisciplinary core courses, cultural enrichment opportunities, a strong commitment to citizenship and service, and an individually designed senior project, honors students have a unique opportunity to customize their honors curriculum to meet their own specific goals. To stimulate discussion and faculty-student interaction, all University Honors Program classes are restricted to a small class size with program permission required for enrollment. University Honors Program students are encouraged to live in the Honors Residence, located on the third floor of Witherspoon Hall, which provides an environment especially conducive to study and cooperative learning. The commons area of this floor contains a well-equipped computer laboratory for use by honors students, and a study/classroom area where many honors courses meet. The Honors Program, in cooperation with the Education Abroad Program, also promotes a comprehensive study abroad program, emphasizing diversity, choice, and flexibility. Opportunities vary from 10-day trips abroad, to a full academic year abroad, with all experiences designed to provide international education opportunities and perspectives. Some study abroad opportunities are interwoven with specially designed honors classes, while others are combined with the community service aspect of the program. Although study abroad is not required, it is strongly encouraged. |
