Welcome to Honors Programs


Our Mission

The mission of Honors Programs is to provide an exceptional educational experience to a diverse group of high-achieving students in an environment that nurtures the growth of the whole student, academically, socially, emotionally, and intellectually.


Our Philosophy

Rather than having students complete a strict program of pre-selected courses, College Honors allows students the flexibility and freedom to select the honors class that interests them most. Discover ways to "create" your own honors course by doing an Honors Contract or participating in an Honors Seminar; receive GE credit while satisfying your Honors Collegium and/or general honors requirement; even participate in an off-campus Study and Discussion group and still receive honors credit.

College Honors coursework encourages academic enrichment and creativity, and honors credit is given to such innovative teaching environments as:

>>UCLA-sponsored internships
>>Small courses that promote critical thinking in a project-oriented environment
