The Honors Program at Youngstown State University, which began in 1977, creates a community of intellectual excellence with students of all majors able to participate. In 2014 the program became a college with more than 1200 students enrolled who engage in coursework, community engagement, experiential learning, leadership, and teamwork, as well as global perspectives. A residential option is also available for students seeking a robust living-learning honors community. Whether the student commutes or resides on campus, an abundance of opportunities exists to connect students to other honors students, faculty, staff, and alumni. When exceptional students are brought together from various disciplines and challenged with extraordinary courses and learning experiences outside the classroom, the overall collegiate experience is enhanced. Honors students may further benefit by securing national scholarships; gaining acceptance into graduate programs, receiving assistantships, and landing their dream job.
