About the IU South Bend Honors Program

The IU South Bend Honors Program provides a special experience for highly motivated undergraduates who welcome intellectual engagement and are willing to meet high academic expectations. This is a dynamic program that boosts a student’s academic career and increases his or her enjoyment of the college experience. Admission to the Honors Program is open to all qualified students, including transfer and current IU South Bend students.

Honors students work closely with faculty to pursue academic challenges through research, mentoring relationships, and specially designed honors courses that encourage them to strive for individual excellence. Honors courses are available every semester and are listed in the Schedule of Classes under Honors Program (HON). Each semester, honors students may also convert regular courses into honors courses upon the approval of the faculty member teaching the course and the Director of the Honors Program. In addition to course work, co-curricular, social and service activities provide opportunities for students to meet other students and faculty in the program and to build community.

Upon completion of the program, honors graduates receive an IU Honors Diploma, an honors graduation cord, and an honors medalion. Completion is also noted on the student’s permanent transcript, as are all honors courses taken.

Numerous scholarships, available only to Honors Program participants, are awarded each year.
