UTulsa’s Honors Program invites students to join a centuries-old conversation about what makes for a meaningful and well-lived life. Through participation in our Socratic-style seminars, you will become exceptional in the arts of communication and dialectic, learn to respectfully challenge yourself and others, and become more discerning with respect to the most important intellectual and ethical issues that confront us as human beings and citizens today.
