University Honors Program
The University Honors Program is home to Aggies working together to create a community of curious, brave, creative, and engaged students who want to put their learning into practice and prepare for the future as they earn a USU degree. Honors students think critically and ask questions, find and share answers, take risks and support their peers in doing so, and engage with their communities. Our students are committed to building a life-changing experience for themselves and others: they want to—and will—change the world.
