An experiential approach to 荣誉 education

The 俄亥俄荣誉计划 (OHP) empowers students to align their personal interests with their academic pursuits and follow their learning wherever it leads. 俄亥俄州 Honors students take on challenging coursework through small-group seminars or 荣誉 projects in traditional classes. They also apply their learning in the real world through internships, partnerships with community organizations, 实践研究, study-away项目, 以及其他课外活动. 旨在补充任何专业, the program connects students with fellow scholars across the university to explore ideas and issues from a wide range of perspectives.

Find your path, with 支持 along the way

俄亥俄州 Honors students take challenging courses, but they also apply their knowledge outside the classroom. Guided by the following three pathways, students work closely with dedicated 荣誉 advisors throughout their time in the program to choose appropriate curricular and co-curricular experiences that build toward a fourth-year capstone portfolio:

• 社区参与: This pathway focuses on building relationships with the local community, 其他地理群体, 以及拥有共同利益的社区.

• 研究/创造性活动: This pathway encourages students to consider the various ways to collect information, 弄明白它的意义, 并以一种有意义的方式分享. Experiences related to this pathway could include work in a laboratory, research based on interviews or focus groups, or the development of an exhibition or performance based on personal stories collected by the researchers.
• 领导: This pathway allows students to explore various ideas about leadership and develop their own understanding of the concept and how they can use and build upon their existing skills to practice it. Experiences related to this pathway could include participation in student government, work with campus and community organizations to develop responses to local challenges, 或者同伴指导的机会.

The 俄亥俄荣誉计划 provides the opportunities, 支持, and guidance necessary for students to stretch themselves intellectually and apply their knowledge in ways that continue the learning process.
