Exceed Your Potential
The Honors program at Western New England University is not a major in itself but is open to students invited by their respective Colleges—Arts and Sciences, Business, and Engineering. It is intended to give academically qualified and motivated students the opportunity to join a community and participate in challenging courses taught by some of the University's most talented faculty.
The program allows students to broaden their education by taking courses in a variety of disciplines with Honors students from other majors and by exploring topics that push cross-disciplinary boundaries. Students will also take an active part in leadership activities related to Honors.
Entering first-year students who have met GPA standards will receive invitations to participate in an honors program at the time of admission. Students who accept the invitation will be registered for their first honors course at summer orientation. Students who do not meet criteria for an invitation but who strongly wish to be considered for acceptance into an honors program are encouraged to apply.
