Message from the Director
Welcome to the University Honors Program at Nicholls. I appreciate your visit to our new Web site, and I hope that you’ll join us soon.The University Honors Program is dedicated to making your college years greater. In the process, we allow you to grow and become greater.
Our renowned honors professors mentor you in small classroom settings, producing a personalized learning environment and empowering your creativity and expression. Our Honors Student Center allows you to write, study and relax between classes. Our academic programs allow enhanced study and scholastic experiences, taking you to places around the state and the world and allowing you to make original contributions to your field of study.
The University Honors Program has made several reservations on your behalf. Select wings of our residence halls are reserved so that you can live and study among like-minded students. Each semester, the first day of early registration is reserved so that you can enjoy first choice of all the courses Nicholls has to offer. Each year, spots on extended study trips to England and Costa Rica are reserved so that you may experience world cultures.
We created this program for outstanding students just like you.
Oliver Wendell Holmes noted of the remarkable growth and architecture of the Chambered Nautilus that “Each new temple [is] nobler than the last.” University Honors Students have adopted this poetic line as their motto, realizing that each experience in the University Honors Program indeed makes their lives and their futures greater.
Let us make yours so.
Dr. John P. Doucet, Director
