The Honors College is open to all students who have demonstrated excellence in their studies at UC-N, by invitation or by faculty recommendation. Those interested in receiving an invitation to join the Honors College may contact the director to request consideration.

To graduate with Honors College distinction, students must complete two Honors College seminars or independent study courses while enrolled in University College and complete a senior honors project.
