Honors Program
One of the oldest and most well-respected Honors Programs in the United States, 5X社区鈥檚 Honors Program provides students on all campuses the opportunity to participate in learning experiences that are challenging and provide enriching experiences in the student鈥檚 areas of interest.
Honors is open to students of 5X社区. On the Regional Campuses, a coordinator for the program provides guidance and advising to students and helps students to create learning experiences in all honors sections, or as an individual project, or as a section of a regular class. Students on regional campuses can complete their honors program on the campus, or, if transferring to Kent Campus, as members of the Honors College there.
Benefits of membership in the 5X社区 at East Liverpool and 5X社区 at Salem Honors Program are:
- Priority Registration
- Enhanced classes
- Smaller teacher-to-student ratios
- Strong sense of community
- Personal attention
- Intellectual challenges
- Opportunities to get involved in research as an undergraduate
- Official recognition of Honors work on the University transcript
Honors coursework can be completed with any major.
Because of the flexibility of the program, students can complete their major and Honors requirements without taking extra classes. Students also have the option of completing an Honors Thesis. The Honors College Thesis Handbook contains more information on this option.
