ABOUT US - STUDENTS

HONORS PROGRAM STUDENTS tend to be students who exercise initiative both inside and outside of the classroom environment. They enjoy discussing their ideas and academic experience with other motivated students in an atmosphere of participation and cooperation. Students actively participate in the administrative structure through committees of the student honors organization - CASHA, and representation on the Honors Council, a standing committee of the College composed of faculty and students that oversees the Program.

Having a wide variety of interests, Honors Program students in the College of Arts and Sciences are actively involved in student government, writing and producing campus periodicals, and in exchange programs and conferences. Many have double-majors.

Both of our recent Rhodes Scholars, Carla Peterman – Class of ’99 and Marianna Ofosu – Class of ’03, are graduates of the Honors Program.

Many of our students travel abroad or participate in the domestic exchange program.

Honors Program students are athletes, debaters, musicians, campus pals, and dormitory resident assistants. While in some ways they are typical Howard University students, they are students who have accepted a special academic challenge. Most Honors Program students continue their education in graduate or professional schools.
