"The Honors College is an independent unit within the University of Oklahoma that offers a challenging program for intellectually motivated undergraduates that aims to create an atmosphere of a very fine liberal arts college within a large research university. Benefits for Honors students include small, rigorous, interdisciplinary classes that are research and writing intensive, involve close advising and mentoring, special programs of both academic and social nature, and create a community environment where students, faculty, and staff interact.
To fulfill our mission, the Honors College challenges students to compete with themselves and explore their own growth potential. We offer a space where students from all fields and disciplines meet and engage in dialogue, and they come together in creative ways for conversation, study, and research, as well as for social and leadership endeavors. Because of this environment, and because we offer additional educational and research opportunities for students who will make the most of them, the Honors College attracts and retains high-achieving students who are the world-changers of tomorrow. As they fan out across the University through their majors and their General Education courses, they raise the bar in those settings. As lifelong OU representatives, their post-graduation successes have the potential to impact the entire university community. "
