Join us for coffee and visit an Honors Class

Wondering what's it like to be an Honors student?

Come meet with a current student and sit in on an Honors class.  Our Honors student ambassadors will meet you at the Honors House.  You can walk over to get coffee at a favorite student hangout.  You can ask all your questions and learn about life as an Honors student.  Then the Honors Ambassador will walk you to an Honors class where you will get to experience the small, discussion based classes.  

Learn about our Faculty

The faculty in the Honors College only teach in Honors.  We have an inter-disciplinary faculty with research interests from gentrification to silent films, and from medieval history to urban infrastructure.   Our faculty get to know their students well with our small class sizes.  Additionally, you may work with the same professor in your first-year Global City class and again as the instructor for your senior thesis class.  To learn more about the Honors Faculty members, visit their faculty profile pages.  

Questions?

Our current students would be happy to talk with you about what it is like to be an Honors student.  Send them an email at honorsadmission@pdx.edu or come to an Honors Visit Day.  You can also check out our Welcome Guide for new students.  

 Joining the Honors College gave me a clear direction for my future and the opportunity to research the topic I have always been interested in. Working with a professor while you are still an undergraduate student is an eye-opening experience that broadens your horizons. I am grateful for this opportunity, and I hope that more students who have something they are passionate about will discover how beautiful it is to be an Honors student!
