Membership in the Arts and Sciences Honors Program
The purpose of the Arts and Sciences Honors Program is to enable well prepared and motivated students to undertake and complete especially challenging curricular course work that leads to special honors upon graduation.
Membership in Honors should involve a basic commitment to excellence. Honors students should aim to pursue a rigorous liberal arts program that cultivates precision of thought and expression, a sense of critical judgment, and a constantly expanding yet coherent perspective.
Because it is important to explore the programmatic possibilities for honors work as early as possible in your academic program, membership requirements for admission into the Honors Program vary for incoming freshmen and for students who have completed college-level course work (beyond college or university course work completed during a student's high school career), whether at Ohio State or another institution.
