WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT DURING YOUR TIME AT THE W.A. FRANKE HONORS COLLEGE?

The W.A. Franke Honors College is more than just academics – it’s an experience that propels you to new levels of success in college and for the rest of your life.

Your First-Year Experience is a time of transition as you first arrive and adjust to college life. Through mentoring, academic and social events, as well as Franke Honors Seminars, you will be introduced to life as a Franke Honors Wildcat.

As you advance after your first year, you will dig further into your major and work with W.A. Franke Honors College staff to craft the best possible extracurricular experiences that will take you toward your post-graduation goals – this could include everything from study abroad to internship opportunities. You will map out customized experiences based on your passions that will also help you stand out to future employers and graduate schools.

Beginning with the final semester in your junior year, you will look toward graduation and beyond, working on an Honors thesis or capstone and making post-graduate plans.
