As the oldest four-year Honors Program in the state of Florida, the Florida State University Honors Program (UHP) offers students a vibrant academic experience with the support of faculty, staff, and advisors whose mission is to nurture individual growth and promote meaningful connections. Participation in this rigorous academic program encourages student-scholars to challenge, inspire, and collaborate with one another to become influential thought-leaders and informed global citizens during their time as students and beyond.

In addition to providing a cutting-edge interdisciplinary curriculum taught by dedicated faculty, the University Honors Program facilitates student community through carefully designed co-curricular and extra-curricular events. These experiences foster critical thinking as a foundation for academic success and future leadership. Our University Honors students and alumni develop into campus influencers, receive recognition for earning national and international awards, and volunteer in the local and global community, in turn bringing distinction to Florida State University.

With your support, the University Honors Program plans to increase access to each impactful event, expand the scope and diversity of speakers and experiences, and equip students with financial support to engage in learning opportunities throughout the U.S. and around the world.
