For Prospective Students
The Heltzer Honors Program enrolls between 250-300 hundred applicants per academic year.
Honors is an exceptional way for the highly motivated, academically-talented student to connect with students who share their excitement about education and their future. In addition to the learning that happens in the small, intensely involved Honors classes, students will pursue independent research both in and out of the classroom (such as with their Honors thesis/project), gain experience internationally (a requirement to graduate with Honors), and develop personally through social and community engagement.
