Honors Program

The mission of the Honors Program at Illinois State University is to recruit, challenge, and stimulate academically-talented, culturally and ethnically diverse, and highly-motivated students from all academic disciplines. Our goals mirror those values found in Educating Illinois and they are to:

offer individualized attention;
promote scholarly and civic engagement;
provide opportunities for enriching academic and cultural experiences with openness to diversity;
and to encourage participation in a variety of formal and informal learning and community-building activities both in and out of the classroom.
