Welcome to the UNO Honors Program

Welcome to the University of New Orleans Honors Program website! I hope you’ll check us out. Here, you’ll find links to information about our program, membership forms, and pictures of Honors students in action.

At UNO, Honors is a full-service program. We provide academic counseling, special courses, student-led activities, faculty lectures, informational seminars, social events, community service projects, and Quiz Bowl competition. And we work hard at creating a community where students feel welcomed, encouraged, served, and challenged.

Our mission is to attract great students to the university, serve them, enrich their undergraduate studies, reward them, and graduate them with future opportunities they might not have had, had it not been for Honors. Come and join us.

Director, University Honors, and
Chair, Department of Philosophy
