The Honors Program at University of Mary Washington is an innovative university-wide program designed to offer highly motivated and advanced undergraduates the opportunity to enhance their intellectual growth. By participating in the Honors Program, they have the opportunity to engage in rigorous honors-designated coursework, interdisciplinary seminars, strong internship experiences, extended research and creative projects, and intriguing community service endeavors. The program offers courses that are small in size and that develop the intellectual potential of students through activities that:
- improve communication skills
- incorporate an interdisciplinary focus
- include innovative teaching strategies
- enhance research skills
- include greater academic breadth
- incorporate enrichment opportunities for students and faculty
- utilize flexible approaches that accommodate different learning styles
Most students entering the Honors Program will do so upon admission to UMW. Students are admitted to the Honors Program based on screenings by the admissions office, including consideration of high school GPA, standardized test scores, and rigor of high school curriculum. However, others may apply for acceptance during their first year. Such students must have a 3.2 overall UMW GPA or higher and two letters of recommendation from UMW faculty.
For more information, contact Dr. Kelli M. Slunt ’91, director of the UMW Honors Program and professor of chemistry, 540/654-1406 or kslunt@umw.edu.
