With the Student-to-Professional Mentoring Experience, the Honors College partners with established alumni, corporate professionals and industry leaders who host junior and senior undergraduates at special events tailored to support specific career paths. At these events up to twenty participants are exposed to networking opportunities, learn how to secure internships, and receive advice for job interviews. The program is open to all majors.
A limited number of students (up to 25 per year) will be selected to join the Pre-Law Scholars Program (PLSP) before their enrollment as undergraduates at OU. The Pre-Law Scholars Program will allow these highly motivated Honors College students interested in the practice of law or judicial service to complete both a Bachelor's degree and Juris Doctor at the University of Oklahoma in six years.
