The Texas State Honors College is a diverse community of students who are motivated by active, engaged learning defined by research and creative inquiry.
Open. Engaged. Impactful.
The Honors College is a community of students, staff, alumni, and faculty that thrives in environments where interdisciplinary inquiry, curiosity, creativity and a lifelong love of learning flourish. Honors classes are small in size but large in scope. Through seminars and active learning, we ask big questions about the world, our community, and ideas more generally.
