Change the way you look at the world!
Welcome to the Aubrey Paul and Georgia Garrison Lloyd International Honors College at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Our mission is to provide outstanding undergraduates at UNCG with an enhanced and supportive intellectual and social experience that acculturates them to the life of the mind and helps them to become critical, independent thinkers who are active in the design and pursuit of their own education, globally aware and engaged, and prepared to lead successful and fulfilling professional, civic, and personal lives.
International Honors Program
Incoming freshmen typically join the International Honors Program because International Honors courses orient you to college-level academic expectations, and they replace regular UNCG general-education courses that fulfill University requirements. In addition to small classes with outstanding UNCG professors, as an International Honors student you also benefit from a Proseminar introducing you to the opportunities for study abroad, research, and leadership. The cornerstone of the International Honors Program is the required International Experience, which means that you participate in one of UNCG's many study abroad exchange programs or in another approved program. You must also demonstrate intermediate (through the 204 level) proficiency in a second language.
Learn how current Honors students are making the most of their UNCG undergraduate careers.
For more information and entrance criteria, see the Admissions page for Prospective Students.
Disciplinary Honors Program
Once you have been at UNCG for at least one semester and have declared a major, you are eligible to join the Disciplinary Honors Program. Typically, you work one-on-one with professors in your major, craft individualized courses, and do an Honors research or creative project during your senior year. Completing the Disciplinary Honors Program will give you a competitive edge as you apply to graduate or professional school or embark on a career. Students in the Disciplinary Honors program are highly encouraged to complete an International Experience.
Admission to Disciplinary Honors requires a minimum UNCG GPA of 3.3. For further requirements, see Keep on Track: Disciplinary Honors.
Full University Honors
Students who complete both the International Honors Program and the Disciplinary Honors Program are awarded Full University Honors for their sustained Honors work throughout their time as undergraduate students.
