Honors Opportunities

Honors students have opportunities to extend their learning beyond campus through immersive study abroad experiences that connect academic study with cultural exploration. Programs such as Jumpstart UTulsa in Rome allow students to engage directly with the history, literature, philosophy and art of the classical world. Honors students may also select from non-Honors Jumpstart destinations in Germany, Mexico and China.

By living alongside fellow Honors students, residents have opportunities to continue classroom discussions, participate in faculty-led events and build friendships rooted in shared academic and personal interests. Through dinners, reading groups, lectures and informal gatherings, the Honors Living Learning Community (HLLC) creates a supportive environment where learning and community continue long after class ends.

Tulsa Undergraduate Research Challenge (TURC) is an innovative program that enables undergraduates to conduct advanced research with the guidance of top UTulsa professors. Its aim is to create leaders in scholarship, research and public life through an emphasis on undergraduate research and community involvement.

Conferences and symposia extend classroom learning into broader academic engagement by connecting students with faculty and visiting scholars. These events allow students to attend and participate in discussions, strengthening engagement with ideas across disciplines while supporting the Honors College’s commitment to academic engagement and intellectual development.
