We invite you to consider applying to the Honors Program. We admit students who show their desire, commitment and love of learning. The Honors Program provides many benefits dedicated to the success of Honors students and helps create an environment which nurtures students’ academic and personal achievement. Some key benefits include:

- Priority registration for all classes
- Small classes with innovative, engaging faculty
- Advising and mentoring by Honors professors
- Cultural events and outdoor activities - for credit

The Honors community welcomes those who excel in academic learning and in achieving lifetime goals. Honors students engage excellence in the classroom and in a world of ideas which extends far beyond the classroom.

The Honors Program offers a wide range of challenging courses in almost every department. We offer interdisciplinary seminars and direct involvement with faculty from the start of the students’ admission at UVU. Almost all Honors seniors pursue their own research projects under the assistance of a faculty mentor, leading to an Honors senior thesis or project.

To help students take the utmost advantage of the opportunities at UVU, Honors advisors meet with them individually, starting with Orientation and continuing throughout their careers at UVU.

Honors students also connect through a wide range of Colloquium activities. The Losee Honors Lounge also offers an intellectual hub where students and faculty come together for learning, discussion, and an array of cultural events in spacious surroundings.

We invite ALL high-achieving, intellectually curious, and academically motivated students to apply in the UVU Honors Program at any time during their senior year of high school, or at ANY stage while attending UVU. We look forward to hearing from YOU.
