The Honors Program at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi offers enriched plans of study to highly motivated students who have the ability to excel academiically and the desire to develop global perspectives.
A successful Honors experience requires an exceptional commitment from participating students and faculty. Honors students are challenged with innovative, participatory, and rigorous learning experiences in a community of similarly motivated learners. Faculty members provide both discipline-specific and interdisciplinary instruction as well as facilitate co-curricular and extracurricular opportunities. Faculty also provide personal mentoring for and collaborative partnerships with their students.
Students and faculty have a unique opportunity in the Honors Program for development and recognition of their interests, skills, abilities, and potential.
When we succeed as we ought in cultivating our students' intellectual virtues, we expect our graduates to be
· Expressively sophisticated in oral and written communication;
· Analytically skilled in argument and problem-solving; and,
· Technically adept at deploying formal and mathematical tools.
Further, when we succeed our graduates will be disposed to
· Challenge the status quo, lead when they must, and contribute where they can;
· Demonstrate in their activities both self-discipline and self-determination; and
· Actively and enthusiastically engage in understanding the world about them.
