If you're an academically ambitious and talented student, you'll find the University Honors Program combines the best of a small liberal arts school with the wide-ranging opportunities of a nationally recognized research university. While you'll be part of a small community of about 900 honors students, all of whom excel academically, you'll also be part of a dynamic and diverse student body of 20,000 whose interests vary widely.

You'll join undergraduates from all departments and majors at The University of Memphis. Each year, the University Honors Program admits approximately 200 freshmen, most of whom participate in all aspects of campus life, including:

• student government,
• athletics,
• the Greek system,
• international studies programs,
• and many other campus activities

As an honors student you'll be able to benefit from small classes that foster greater interaction between students and faculty and among the students themselves. You'll be challenged by enriched honors courses, interdisciplinary seminars, independent study, honors thesis or creative project, and conversations with visiting scholars. You'll have opportunities to participate in nationally recognized undergraduate research conferences and to extend your learning beyond the classroom and into the community through internships and public service. And you'll have the option to live on an Honors-designated floor within a residence hall, which provides an atmosphere conducive to studying, but at the same time a place where friendships are easily established.

You'll benefit both personally and professionally from the special programs and individualized attention that characterize The University of Memphis Honors Program.
