The Honors Carolina Advantage

Honors Carolina is a collection of courses, special events, and learning opportunities geared toward the top students at Carolina. It is the University’s way of investing in truly exceptional undergraduate students — providing a remarkable collection of challenges and opportunities inside and outside the classroom.

In the Classroom

Honors Carolina students receive priority registration for more than 100 Honors courses each year. These are small classes taught by award-winning professors who encourage active inquiry and hands-on research.

Outside the Classroom

Take advantage of opportunities to conduct original research with a faculty mentor; study abroad in cities such as Cape Town, London, Singapore, and Rome; and build personal relationships with professors, fellow scholars, and alumni by participating in special Honors Carolina events.
