要求二:荣誉影响项目

You’ll work individually with a faculty member from your major and develop an “Honors Impact” to complete so that you get an additional experience and insight into your career field – beyond what others in the class are doing. 本课程计入你的专业学分, and it is listed as an 荣誉项目 course as well on your transcript.

Honors Impact components might include one or more of the following:

  • An additional research-based project that culminates in an essay or presentation.

要求三:荣誉顶点研究 & 专业发展

Interested?

在完成这些要求后, you’ll have a broader knowledge of your topic (which you know employers will love) and just a better ability to think critically and solve problems (which employers constantly tell us are the two top qualities they want in employees, 无论专业或工作). You’ll develop friendships and cultivate connections with faculty and others that will follow you well after your years in high school. Last, 但肯定不是最不重要的, you will have saved a little money thanks to the stipends and scholarships provided for Honors Students. 听起来对大家都是双赢,对吧?
