And most importantly, the Honors College is here for YOU: with dedicated staff and faculty eager to support your development from your first semester to graduation, you’ll find yourself growing in unexpected ways. The Honors College has a program for you no matter where you are in your educational journey.

Students joining the Lloyd International Honors College through the Global Honors Program, International Honors Program, or the Disciplinary Honors Program receive special benefits.

Recognition

Graduating Honors students are recognized at the annual Honors Graduation Ceremony, which takes place every spring. An Honors student’s official University transcript includes a mark of merit and, for those who have completed Disciplinary Honors, the title of their Senior Honors Project. This official recognition grants students a competitive edge in applying for graduate or professional school and signals to prospective employers the graduate’s interpersonal, intellectual, and communication skills.

Honors Priority Registration

All Honors College students have the benefit of registering prior to non-Honors students of similar academic rank (by credit hours). In addition, seats in 100-level Honors classes are held for only our incoming Global Honors freshman class.

Honors Scholarships

The Honors College awards the Katherine Smith Reynolds Scholarship, Lena Anne Gordon Scholarship, and several others to incoming first-year students. Current students may be eligible for the Lichtin Family Scholarship, the Scurry Family Scholarship, the Joe and Jeannie Daniels Felts Scholarship, the Fran and Glenn Ross Scholarship, or the Nunn Family Scholarship.

Housing

Lloyd International Honors College includes four Honors Residential Colleges for incoming first-year students and a select number of continuing students.  The Honors College also includes Gray Hall, a suite-style residence on the Historic Quad for upperclassmen in the Honors College.  These environments allow students to integrate their academic and social life, and in doing so challenge and support them as they grow as scholars, citizens, and human beings.
