The UVU Honors Program is an energetic center filled with diverse students excited to make the most of their undergraduate experiences and make positive impacts on the community around them. Through meaningful and rigorous series of academic and cultural experiences, the Honors Program offers its students:
Honors Requirements for Advanced Entry
Students work with the Honors Advisor to make a clear plan upon entry so all the necessary coursework requirements for Honors graduation are met. Honors students typically complete at least two Honors courses per semester. In the first two semesters, all Honors students must complete the Honors Core which consists of Ancient Legacies (HONR 2000), Modern Legacies (HONR 2100), and Honors Colloquium x2 (HONR 100R). Course descriptions are available for the Legacies and Colloquium courses, which vary in focus each semester. In addition to the Honors Course courses, students will complete an Honors Contract for 4-upper-division courses within the student's major. Lastly, students will complete a two semester sequence of the Honors Capstone (HONR 400R) and Honors Thesis/Project (HONR 498R/499R) in their last two to three semesters in their degree. Additional information can be found here.
Fall Term: 12-18 Credits (most awards require a minimum of 15 credits)
All students in the UVU Honors Program will need Honors Contracts in several upper-division courses to earn a baccalaureate degree with Honors.
An Honors Thesis or Project is a sustained inquiry or application of a focused idea or skills, allowing the student to develop subject-matter expertise, thorough research or practice, and intensive project management skills. It represents the culmination of a student's undergraduate experience in the Honors Program.
