The University of
San Francisco has

one of the most amazing,
diverse, talented student

populations of any
university in the country.

For those students who come
in to us exceedingly gifted,

academically, we wanted to
give them the opportunity

to be able to take
honors seminars in a very

interdisciplinary setting, to
really learn from each other,

as well as from our
wonderful faculty.

The goal of Honors
College is to create

a sense of rigorous, innovative,
and creative environment.

And give opportunity
to students to think

outside of their major
and their discipline.

They'll have access
to special courses

in the Honors College, access
to outside artists and scholars,

and this will just
strengthen what is already

a great education that helps
prepare students for working

in the 21st century.

They can meet writers
in Writer Salon.

They can meet
artists in studios.

They can meet industry
leaders in much more

intimate receptions,
in which they

can engage them one on one.

Honors College curriculum is
founded on global humanities

and ignatian reflection.

The Honors College at
USF is really engaging,

and it pushes you to not only
apply the material to yourself

but apply the material
to the world around you.

We got to meet so many different
people from different majors

and different backgrounds.

And it's really interesting,
because everyone is

able to share their own ideas.

The Honors College offers
scholarships for students

to apply for study
abroad, immersion trips,

and we also pay
them to do research

with faculty and internships
in the communities.

It's such a great experience, to
put you inside of a small class

size with really engaged, really
passionate individuals, who

are willing to push
themselves personally

and academically to
find new answers.

This is really at the
heart of who USF is.

And being able to provide
a strong Honors College

education to these students
really fits closely

and is tightly entwined
with our Jesuit mission.

Our Honors College affords
our students the opportunity

to begin the in-depth
conversations

with intellectually
gifted peers.

And these conversations
will last not just

the length of a
semester, nor even

the length of a degree
program, but indeed will

last a lifetime.
