Honors College Academic Approach
——————————
We believe that education is the cultivation of human potential into human excellence through the development of good habits of mind and character. The Honors College offers an integrated, holistic, and transformative liberal arts education that complements any major offered at The University of Tulsa. By studying classic texts within a community that seeks wisdom, virtue, and friendship as common ends, Honors College students will confront the most profound and enduring questions of human existence, as explored by some of the most influential thinkers within our inherited intellectual tradition.
Students complete their journey through Honors in one of two ways:
- The Honors Curriculum, for students primarily seeking to integrate their studies in Honors with a major in another college.
- The Humane Letters major, for students seeking a deeper and more sustained engagement with classic works. Students in the Humane Letters major are automatically in the Honors Program.
