About the CUNY HONORS COLLEGE

The CUNY Honors College (CHC) is a flagship program of the University that provides an enhanced undergraduate education to academically gifted students. Since its inauguration in 2001, the Honors College has grown rapidly, drawing on the unique resources of CUNY and New York's cultural, scientific, government, and business communities to provide its students with a broad-based and challenging liberal arts education.

The CUNY Honors College is a unique learning community, stressing excellence, innovation, collaboration, and interdisciplinary approaches.

• CUNY Honors College students are designated as University Scholars. They begin their studies with a sequence of four interdisciplinary seminars with a special focus on New York City.
• The University Scholars select their course of study at one of the seven participating CUNY campuses.
• Study grant funding is available for study abroad at sites that range from Florence, Italy, to Australia, India, China, and the Galapagos Islands.
• The Honors College learning community also includes a special team of directors and advisors as well as Technology Fellows at each campus, who blend specialized academic knowledge with expertise in instructional technology.

Join the future leaders of New York as University Scholars in the CUNY Honors College.
