The Honors Experience
The Honors Experience is like no other on VCU's campus.
- Academic Diversity: Our students represent nearly every department on VCU's campus which creates a community where the exchange of ideas is always embraced.
- Small Classes: Our classes are small, allowing for energetic discussions and immediate access to your professors.
- Personalized Advising: Our advisors are dedicated solely to you to assist you in integrating Honors courses into any undergraduate major you choose.
- Interdisciplinary Curriculum: Our curriculum stretches across disciplines and uses the Richmond community as the textbook.
- Research Opportunities: Our faculty want you to engage and partake in research projects that inspire your curiosity and challenge you to explore the world around you in new and different ways.
