University Honors Program at Cal Poly

Live, Learn, Achieve.

The Honors Program is designed to provide highly motivated and successful students with
a broad and challenging learning experience through participation in a variety of curricular and
co-curricular activities. Honors students have the opportunity to enjoy a varied educational experience, including courses in specially designed Honors seminars as well as undergraduate research opportunities.

Intellectual creativity and exploration are the hallmarks of the Honors Program. In particular,
the Honors Program builds relationships between all colleges on campus and seeks to educate students in the connections between the disciplines, from Engineering to English, Agriculture to
Art, or Business to Biology. Following Cal Poly's distinctive "hands-on" approach to education, students will be encouraged to participate in community projects and international programs to enhance their global awareness.
