Honors at URI is structured as a program, not a separate college. This allows us to draw from the talents of faculty throughout the University who share your dedication to pursuing knowledge across disciplinary boundaries, and help you seek out experiences that complement your education.<\/p>\n

Students and faculty in the program are committed to improving themselves, the lives of others, and the state of our world. They study the important issues facing our society and seek innovative solutions to the problems they encounter.<\/p>\n

The Pre-Health Professions Advising Program and the Office of National Fellowships, housed in the Honor Program, are available to all undergraduates interested in knowing more about pre-health, pre-med, and grants, scholarships, and fellowship opportunities.<\/p>\n
