Honors Admissions

Debating between a small college and large university? Why not have both?

We offer the best of both worlds – the personal support and attention of a small college combined with the diversity and resources of a large university. Our students enjoy:

The Honors College creates a community to serve the University of Houston’s finest students. Open to all majors, the Honors College curriculum complements all degree plans offered at the University of Houston. With fewer than 600 students admitted annually, the Honors College is able to devote significant resources aimed at making each student’s college experience unique.

Interested? We encourage you to apply!
