Honors & Scholars
Accordions
University Honors is a university-wide array of opportunities available to high-ability undergraduates. While there is some variation from college to college, these opportunities are designed to encourage and facilitate the pursuit of undergraduate academic excellence. At both the university and the college levels, exceptional students are encouraged to undertake honors programs, special classroom and research opportunities, and co-curricular activities which may result in an enhanced and distinctive undergraduate program.
Prospective students entering The Ohio State University must formally apply for honors affiliation through the Honors and Scholars Center based on their college requirements. For more information either see the College of Engineering for CSE majors or the College of Arts and Sciences for CIS majors. Upon application approval, students are eligible to access the many opportunities available to honor-affiliated undergraduates, including priority scheduling privileges, honors residence halls, and honors classes. These classes are limited to 25 students and are taught by faculty.
The Ohio State Scholars Program allows students to choose from 16 different programs that are focused on a theme or area of study. Though they are open to students regardless of major there are two specific Engineering programs: Engineering Scholars and Humanitarian Engineering Scholars. Students must indicate interest in scholars when they apply to Ohio State University. More details are available through the Ohio State Scholars Program.
