Who is it for?
Honors serves high-achieving, academically motivated students from diverse ethnic, social, and economic backgrounds. Students from all majors and departments are welcome.
All Honors students enjoy priority registration, 24-hour access to a dedicated student lounge and computer lab, personalized guidance from an Honors adviser, support from Honors writing tutors, student-led community events, and career and graduate-school focused enrichment workshops. Honors students can also choose to live in Honors-only housing in Epler Hall.
Honors assists transfer students in their transition to PSU via bridge courses for sophomore transfers (HON 260) and junior transfers (HON 360) as well as transfer-focused events hosted by current Honors students. These transfer courses are designed to teach the writing skills and academic literacy that we focus on in our first year foundation course.
