Students can participate in the Honors Program in two ways: by entering Commonwealth Honors or Departmental Honors.
Students who want to be part of Honors throughout their undergraduate career join Commonwealth Honors. Departmental Honors is for upper-division students interested in pursuing honors in their major.
