Welcome to the Daemen University Honors Program
The mission of the Daemen University Honors Program is to foster academic excellence and personal growth among motivated students through thought-provoking coursework and collaborative research opportunities. We encourage interdisciplinary exploration and critical thinking, while promoting service to the community as a means to create positive change. Our mission is to empower the next generation of leaders and thinkers who will shape a better future for all.
Students who have demonstrated excellence in learning can benefit from honors courses, which examine complex issues from multiple perspectives, use primary sources rather than textbooks, and present special opportunities for research. An Honors Director and Honors Council of faculty and staff, oversee the program, including evaluation of student applications, program assessment, review of proposed new colloquia, and thesis oversight.
If you are interested in joining the program please contact Dr. Law at jlaw@daemen.edu to discuss the process. We look forward to meeting you!
