The University Scholar Program

University Scholars have the freedom to craft personalized plans of study, often across disciplines. They enjoy flexibility in fulfilling general education and many major requirements. They exercise their intellectual passion by charting their own course through a demanding but rewarding special project. They develop close relationships with faculty mentors they select themselves. They produce new knowledge or creative products that are entirely their own.

University Scholars have created toys to help autistic children learn, produced advances in stem cell research, invented processes for running campus buses on cooking oil, written travel and mystery novels, and much more.

If you want to take your education to the next level for your last three semesters, consider applying to the University Scholars Program.
