2015 Jun 4

Honors Scholars are students who meet specific academic criteria, allowing them the opportunity to participate in a program designed to provide a challenging curriculum.

The Honors Program at William Woods University is a selective program that fosters the growth of students who are dedicated, imaginative and excited about learning. The program is a supportive community composed of students from all majors on campus. Approximately 20 students are accepted into the program each year.

During the semester students meet informally, have lunch together, and discuss their coursework, research, organization participation and service-learning activities. Because there are students from all majors represented, the diversity of interests allows for challenging interactions between students as they seek to understand one another's approaches to learning and perspectives on topics.

To be successful in honors courses, students must be active learners ready to engage in the interchange of ideas among the students in the course and between the student and the professor. The courses are designed to provide an enriched learning experience where the coverage is more in-depth than non-honors courses. The program is committed to providing opportunities for students to employ creative and critical thinking as they serve the campus and greater communities.
