The University Honors Program (UHP) is a university-wide undergraduate program is intended to reward SIUC's best students for their high academic achievements. We value community, diversity, leadership, service, lifelong learning, global awareness and research, and are committed to providing both experience and opportunity to foster those values. The heart of the UHP is its small classes, unique in character and specially created for UHP students by outstanding UHP faculty to satisfy requirements of the University Core Curriculum as well as in the student's major. We provide a taste of the private college experience at a state-university price.

Bottomline? The program is designed to give SIUC students a "leg-up" or advantage in the job market and in applying to graduate school. Students who graduate with an Honors Certificate or Honors Thesis distinguish themselves from the pack.
