Welcome to the Honors College at OSU.

We're glad you're here.
You may be wondering if Honors is the right fit for you. We're a small college (serving just over 2,000 students), but with our multiple options for admission, our commitment to diversity, and the flexibility of our academic program, the Honors experience is available to any student who chooses it. And so far, 93% of students who pursue Honors decide to stick around.  

Still thinking about it?

Don't just take our word for it
Below you can read first-hand accounts from our students who share how they have benefited from their time in Honors.

Apply Now

To apply for admission into the Honors College, students simply need to select 'Yes' when asked whether or not they would like to join the Honors College in the OSU application form.

  • Students will then be asked to respond to the "Honors Question". Don't worry, it's goofy and will not be factored into the evaluation. Its purpose is to ensure students don't accidentally select to apply to Honors.
  • If a student meets our automatic admission criteria then this should be the final step before attending New Student Orientation. However, if a student falls below this automatic criteria, we would love the opportunity to give further consideration to the application and encourage students to fill out the holistic review form (also included in the main OSU application).

Choosing Your First Honors Course

Joining us next semester? Excellent.

  • First things first, sign up to attend New Student Orientation (hint: the earlier the better).
  • Watch your emails closely, especially in the weeks leading up to your orientation date. Information about the Honors College session will be included in these emails.
  • Let's pick a fun class. During your orientation session, you will meet with an Honors College advisor who will help you select an honors course based on the regular, non-honors courses you need to take and based on what you are most interested in.
