Welcome to Honors

The Renée Crown University Honors Program students begin with orientation, where they engage in a semester of shared activities, and gain awareness of campus life. Honors students excel in attaining scholarships, awards, fellowships, recognition at professional conferences, publication, internships, and entrance to graduate school and service organizations.

At graduation, Honors students have completed a rigorous curriculum that represents breadth, collaborative capacity, global awareness, command of language, and depth. Each student completes a thesis and has contributed to community and campus civic engagement.

    • Academic Enhancement Awards: Receive up to $2,000 toward study abroad, research and professional development experiences.
    • Thesis Funding Support: Receive up to $5,000 toward research costs for the Honors Thesis project.
