The essence of the Honors Program is personal attention, enlightening seminars, illuminating study abroad experiences, numerous research opportunities, and career-building internships—all designed to enhance students' educational experience and prepare them for graduate studies or a career.
The central goal is academic enrichment which is undergirded by a nurturing, supportive environment in which students can develop and grow.
Winston-Salem State University recognizes that much of students' education occurs beyond the walls of the classroom. As such, students are encouraged to participate in traditional and non-traditional learning experiences, including international travel, social, academic, cultural and recreational activities.
The Honors Program is an interdisciplinary, institutional undergraduate program that includes both curricular and co-curricular components, as well as a variety of experiential learning initiatives. Events are tailored to the needs of highly motivated students. Some of the unique features of the Society include the following:
- Professional and Career Preparation
- Leadership Development
- Conference Attendance
- Community Engagement Projects
- Priority Registration and Advisement
- Social Enhancement Activities
