About the Honors Program
Tailored Classes: Smaller, intensive classes enable students to enjoy both a small liberal arts college atmosphere and the benefits of a large research university. Working closely with accomplished faculty, students also may design innovative classes and conduct cutting-edge research.
Priority Registration: Active Honors students are able to register for classes before everyone else, and staff members are available for guidance on classes and scheduling.
Top Facilities and Housing: The Georgia State University Lofts, the newest and most desirable housing on campus, feature Honors housing as part of the Community of Scholars. In addition, the Honors Program offices feature a computer lab, a spacious lounge, classrooms, and meeting rooms – all dedicated to Honors students.
Freedom to Choose: Honors students can take as many or as few Honors courses as they like, and they can earn any of three special Honors designations that appear on their transcripts and diplomas at graduation.
Graduate School Preparation: Honors students have the opportunity to enroll in graduate courses as advanced undergraduates and to hone their research skills by writing undergraduate
Honors theses: In recent years, Georgia State Honors students have been admitted to top graduate schools including Yale, Oxford, and Harvard Law and have received prestigious national fellowships such as the Fulbright.
