HONORS COLLEGE
General-Education Honors Program
The General-Education Honors Program enhances the University's General-Education Program. Students who complete the General-Education Honors Program are critical, independent thinkers who are active in the design and pursuit of their education, globally aware and engaged, and prepared to lead successful and fulfilling professional, civic, and personal lives.
Honors courses in the General-Education Honors Program are typically small and interdisciplinary. They replace regular UNCG general-education courses that fulfill University requirements. International and global perspectives in the General-Education Honors Program are integrated into most regular Honors courses.
