MISSION
The purpose of the Honors College is to offer students a liberal arts education
of the highest intellectual and scholarly standard. As a public institution,
we open our doors to those seeking a challenging, yet affordable, learning
experience equal to that of the most selective colleges and universities.
Small class size, rigorous requirements, and an emphasis on interdisciplinary
study anchor a community of dedicated faculty and a talented, diverse student
body. We value our special responsibility of public service, and recognize
that this responsibility extends not only to the people of Florida but also
to the nation, the global community, and the natural environment.
