Honors Program
The Honors Program, also called Honors in General Education, adds value to a Chico State degree and enhances opportunities after graduation by providing an innovative, inclusive, and challenging interdisciplinary arts and sciences education that culminates in an integrative capstone project. The program attracts and supports an inquisitive and diverse group of first-year, transfer, and international students through personalized advising, engaged faculty, and intentional community.

Most Fall 2020 instruction at Chico State - including all instruction in the Chico State Honors Program - will take place virtually. However, the Chico State Honors Program faculty take virtual teaching very, very, seriously. Faculty teaching Fall 2020 Honors classes are participating in a three-week "Go Virtual" summer institute so that we can provide you with the very best virtual instruction at Chico State. Also, all Chico State Honors Program faculty are committed to incorporating live ("synchronous") components to our classes to ensure that you will be fully engaged with your professors and your classmates. We will provide you with more details as they become available.
