Students with outstanding academic records may be eligible to participate in the University College-Newark (UC-N) Honors College, which offers an enriching and challenging educational experience. 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. The senior honors project is the capstone of the Honors College program and often is of either publishable or exhibition quality.
