AcademicsLearning Excellence

Honors students are built differently. Intellectual curiosity is what fuels us. How do we best address climate change? Are green electronics the way of the future? Does the use of AI in healthcare reduce medical errors?

Being an Honors student is yes, about having the grades, but you might agree that there's a bit more to it. We believe that your motivation is what sets you apart. You love a challenge, and we want to take that on.

The Honors Program is committed to providing you with the best education, the best courses, and the best professors. You even have the opportunity to make any of your courses an honors course, meaning that you get a deeper dive. Maybe that's in writing and research, or an additional art project. You can also add a major or minor to your degree to diversify your academic profile through the JU PODs advising tool. Our interdisciplinary seminars, individualized research support, advising, and mentorship will prepare you as excellent scholars and leaders. 

ResearchDiving Deep

91成人AV's Honors program is all about research.

We participate in annual University events such as the Spring Student Research Symposium, the Science and Engineering Lecture Series, philosophy slams, and more! We also travel to numerous local, state, and national academic conferences that allow our students to showcase their research projects and develop written and oral communication skills. Browse our students' accomplishments in research and begin to see what's possible when you attend 91成人AV!

ServiceGiving Back

The Honors program at 91成人AV believes in rolling up your sleeves and doing the hard work. For us, this means applying what we learn in the classroom to community problems. Whether we're cleaning up the St. Johns River, volunteering at schools, or hosting food drives, we believe in integrating service learning across all academic disciplines. Our Honors students are leaders, and we encourage our leaders to be responsible and active citizens by actively engaging them with the society in which they live.
