Welcome

Imagine a classroom with a small number of high caliber students under the direction of an accomplished professor. You can ask questions and provide comments in an energetic, intelligent and sharing atmosphere.

Can you see it? That’s the University Honors Program.

Imagine yourself a senior, one year away from entering the competitive world of employment or graduate or professional school. Luckily, you have already begun to conduct independent research in your major, making an intellectual contribution to your field of study while still an undergraduate.

Imagine yourself as the top candidate for a position because you have this experience and courage and motivation. That’s the University Honors Program.

Imagine yourself wearing the University Honors Award medal at graduation and presenting your official university transcript bearing Honors Certification to employers and admissions committees. You enter the world having achieved the most out of your undergraduate years and becoming all that you were meant to become.

That’s the University Honors Program. And Nicholls has created this program for you.

The University Honors Program will enhance your academic experience as a high-achieving and highly motivated student, creating for you a community of creativity and excellence. Within the classroom, you’ll receive a personalized education through innovative teaching and limited class size. Outside the classroom, you’ll enjoy exclusive privileges, such as reserved dormitory suites, a dedicated study center, first-day registration, special lectures and travels and opportunities for independent research and international study.

Honors students share a desire to become the best they can be. They are goal-oriented and hardworking, ready to face challenges, offer solutions and enjoy university life.

That’s the University Honors Program. Join us today!
