College
of Engineering Honors Program
The College of Engineering considers all
its students honors students in the sense that all engineering classes are challenging,
focused, and require unusual academic ability just to pass. Nonetheless, honors opportunities
are available on a limited basis in the College of Engineering.
The Engineering Honors in Liberal Arts Program is open to a select group of entering freshmen with unusual ability and unusually broad interests in liberal arts.
