Why

Honors?

You take specialized courses from and work closely with professors chosen by their colleagues for their exceptional teaching and research abilities.
You have opportunities for securing University and Honors scholarships.
You have the chance to live in the Honors residence hall, a specially designed and equipped house for academically oriented students.
With the completion of the new academic building, Honors students now have access to the Honors computer lab and seminar room. They are on the first floor of Academic Building IV, the building directly across the street from the honors residence hall.
You associate, through the Honors Program, with other academically-minded students who, like you, want to know more–– about more.
In every semester you are able to register one week before all other students.
Upon graduation and successful completion of the Honors Program, you receive special recognition and a permanent notation on your transcript.
You have a number of advantages and challenges that we would be happy to discuss with you. For more information, please call the Honors Office at (936) 294-1477 or e-mail us at honors@shsu.edu.
