Honors

The Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures (LAN) strongly encourages LAN majors to apply to and participate in the Honors Program. The Honors Program provides unique opportunities for academic and extracurricular engagement. In addition, it enhances students' resumes and provides them with experiences which will benefit them in their futures.

Honors students interested in Departmental Honors should plan to achieve this beginning their junior year. Learn more about Departmental Honors.
