Honors Program

The Honors Program at Georgia State University exemplifies the commitment of the university to encourage exceptional intellectual work by its students and faculty. It is designed for outstanding undergraduate students enrolled in any of the colleges of the university. The program is an academic, not an honorary, organization.

It provides core-level as well as upper-division courses intended to meet the intellectual aspirations of highly motivated and high-achieving students. The director and staff work closely with students who are members of the Honors Program to help them make their course selections and define their academic objectives. The program provides a natural home for both multicultural and interdisciplinary courses, and it routinely provides some of the most innovative courses in the university.
