Honors Program

The Honors Program at Indiana University Southeast is designed to serve the needs and interests of highly motivated students who seek a stimulating and exciting academic experience and formal recognition for completing a challenging program. Honors courses will explore important topics in depth, through a multi-disciplinary approach. The pace of the courses, and the level and quality of work expected of students will require that participants be self-motivated, and that they exercise good time-management skills; however, the small size of each Honors class (between 12 and 18 students per section) will insure group discussion, interaction with the instructor, and focused guidance and support of each student's academic goals. To contact the Honors Program office, please email them at iushp@ius.edu.

In addition one or more multi-day expeditions are arranged almost every year to Chicago, New York City, Washington D.C., and other major artistic and cultural centers.
