The Preyer Honors Program provides motivated students committed to academ​ic excellence with an enriching college experience, regardless of major, in and out of the classroom. Engaged students find that our interdisciplinary honors courses will challenge them to achieve their true potential as critical thinkers, reflective scholars, servant leaders and noble individuals. Outside of the classroom the Preyer Honors Program is a community where curiosity and intellectual risk taking lead to more expansive experiences which challenge, and perhaps change, personal beliefs and world views.
