Doctors, historians, researchers, accountants—these are just a few of the careers our students aspire to pursue. By enrolling at Rutgers University-Newark and pursuing an exceptional university education, our students take the first step toward achieving their dreams. Once here, they become part of a supportive community at the Honors College as they prepare for the opportunities that await after graduation.
Honors College courses challenge our students to embrace advanced engagement and research in the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences. Our program culminates with a year-long thesis project in which honors students produce a piece of original scholarship.
Our students actively participate in the intellectual dialogues happening across our campus and within the many other communities to which they belong. To further foster a sense of citizenry, our students are involved in service work within these varied and diverse communities throughout their time in the program.
Curiosity. Creativity. Discovery. Excellence.
