Welcome

The IPFW Honors Program is an interdisciplinary undergraduate program open to students of any major. Completion of the program requirements merits the reception of a certificate and a medal engraved with the student’s name, the only medal that is currently allowed to be worn during the graduation ceremony.

Participation in the program is voluntary and for those who choose to participate there are many benefits available, as well as awards, that signify their efforts and achievements. After completing their first honors class, all honors students receive priority registration with the juniors. Periodically, employment opportunities with the program are made available to honors students, in addition to scholarships and undergraduate teaching assistant positions.

The program seeks to enhance student learning by incorporating in-depth and practical knowledge and experiences into the classroom. It groups highly motivated students and allows them to work together towards excellence. Faculty are given the opportunity to develop cutting edge teaching methodology and cultivate the abilities of developing minds. Perhaps the most important of all; however, is that throughout the program learning is treated as a worthwhile pursuit and education is considered a lifelong process.
