Designed for intellectually gifted students, the Douglass Scholars Program offers a four-year program of academic enrichment and cultural opportunity. Douglass scholars enroll in two honors seminars during their first year in the program. As sophomores or juniors, they enroll in the Scholars Program Sophomore-Junior Seminar. As juniors and seniors, they pursue honors work either in their major departments, independently with a faculty supervisor, or through the Mabel Smith Douglass Program. A limited number of continuing students are offered a place in the program based on their outstanding academic record. The program staff provides individual advising to each Douglass scholar, including assistance with career planning. The special courses for the program are listed in the course listing chapter in this section.
