Design thinking and prototyping aren't just for product development. We used the same principles when we created the Honors Program, and you'll do the same on your pathway. Learn. Do. Reflect. Challenge assumptions. Take advantage of available resources, and identify areas of need. Build on the things that work. Move away from the things that don't work as well, or figure out an improvement.
Our Honors Program is designed to help you achieve your goals, learn more about what interests you (and discover what doesn't!), and develop the honors abilities that are so valued by our graduates and their employers.
Tailor your honors experience to your unique life and learning goals. Get away from the standard degree flowchart and use your own experiences, your own interests, and your own aspirations to make an honors program that is perfectly "you."
