Honors News and Updates
Welcome New Students!
Today, I’m excited to welcome 159 new Honors Program members who will be joining us for the Fall semester. Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Honors Admissions Committee—Professors Sarika Joshi, John Pfeilsticker, and Alex Siwiecki—we are lucky to have tremendous students from across the planet joining us this coming semester.
Missed Orientation? Look for info on a make-up.
If you’re new to the Honors Program, but didn’t get a chance to attend orientation, don’t worry! We’re scheduling a make-up session in the next 2 weeks so you can learn about Program requirements and how to be successful. Keep an eye on your email for an updated date and time for this session.
Secure Your Spot: Fall 2025 Honors Course Registration
While Fall 2025 may seem far off, we encourage you to register for your Honors courses as early as possible. Classes tend to fill quickly, so submitting your Course Registration Form soon will help ensure you get into your preferred classes. Before registering, log into your eSantaFe account to check for any holds that might delay your registration. Taking care of this now will help you avoid complications later.
As a reminder, Honors students must earn at least 30 Honors Points each semester. The easiest way to do this is by enrolling in Honors courses — you’ll earn 10 points per credit hour upon successful completion.
Honors courses are available in subjects including Communications, Social and Natural Sciences, Mathematics, Humanities, and Electives, and are designed for smaller class sizes, deeper learning, and more interactive experiences. These courses may feature special topics or enriched versions of existing classes, and students are expected to take initiative and commit time outside of class to succeed.
Review the Fall 2025 Honors Courses Catalog and prepare to make your selections!
