About Honors
A Record of Success(es)
Over the past several years, the University Honors Program has more than doubled in size, welcoming over 600 students from all across North Carolina as well as more than a dozen other states. Our students have come from all backgrounds and walks of life. They have pursued undergraduate degrees in majors ranging from aerospace engineering to zoology. Many were named Caldwell and Park scholars as undergraduates; others went on to win such prestigious awards as the Goldwater, Udall, Mitchell and Gates-Cambridge scholarships. The individual talks and achievements of our program graduates are varied. The one trait they all share is the ability to apply the interdisciplinary skills of inquiry, creativity and discovery fostered by the University Honors Program to their own aspirations.
Today, many of our students are pursuing advanced degrees at top graduate schools across the U.S. or are enjoying successful careers in a wide array of industries and in all sectors, including academia, the government, non-profit areas and business. The future is truly theirs and we are proud that the University Honors Program played such an important role in helping them fulfill their potential as individuals and as leaders in their fields. There are many great reasons to attend NC State. We think the University Honors Program ranks high among them!
