| Honors Programs
I recently just finished my application for Baylor and have already sent it in. I also want to apply to the Honors College, but Baylor's site says I would need to apply to the programs individually. Looking over the descriptions, most of the the programs seem very similar. Does anyone know which program is for academic achievement?
Honors Program
The Honors Program, established in 1959, is designed to enhance and enrich the academic experience of talented, highly motivated students at Baylor University. The program supplements traditional degree requirements and majors in all departments and schools of the university by offering smaller, distinctive classes, encouraging interdisciplinary approaches to learning, and providing opportunities for students to pursue independent study and research with individual faculty mentors. Honors students, through their shared activities and dedication to academic excellence, become a community of scholars that builds connections between specialized fields of inquiry and that reinforces Baylor's commitment to the ethical application of knowledge.
University Scholars
Baylor's University Scholars Program is designed for outstanding students who value liberal education, have a variety of interests, and would like, through literature, to engage issues that pertain to the heart and mind.
The University Scholars Program allows students to cultivate a broad base of learning. Scholars typically develop one or more intellectual foci, while also taking a variety of courses to round out their liberal education. Scholars have no distribution requirements per se, but the program does have its own unique features. Chief among these is the development and mastery of a reading list, consisting of various works of literature outside of the Scholar's course work. In the junior year, each University Scholar sits for an "exit interview" based on these texts. All Scholars write a senior thesis, as well.
