The University Honors Program at California State University, Long Beach, challenges and enriches the educational experience of motivated students. Distinguished professors facilitate and encourage students to explore ideas and concepts thoroughly in intimate, discussion-oriented classes.
Honors students strive for excellence, dedicate themselves to enriching their educational experience and actively participate in classes and lectures. Honors students benefit from interaction with prestigious faculty and other goal-oriented and committed students who have diverse backgrounds and unique personal experiences. Graduating with honors is an outstanding accomplishment that has benefited many alumni who have become doctors, lawyers and Pulitzer Prize winning journalists.
