HONORS COLLEGEHonors College classes are small. You’ll receive personal attention with the opportunity to engage with faculty on a level similar to that enjoyed by graduate students at other universities. You’ll develop as a leader and a professional as you pursue independent research and creative scholarship.
UNCW requires all fall freshmen to reside on campus
their first academic year. Research shows that in doing
so, students make a smoother transition to college life,
achieve a higher grade point average, develop stronger
friendships and graduate at higher rates.
Consider joining a learning community: structured
learning experiences where 20-25 first-year students
share common classes and activities related to
an academic or personal interest. Residential
and non-residential options are available, visit
uncw.edu/housing for more information.
