What Graduates are Saying
Listed below are comments about Boise State's Honors College from some recent graduates.
"The Honors College shaped my Boise State experience. Through Honors activities, I met my friends, and through Honors courses, I discovered how to think critically about issues. Without the Honors College, my undergraduate experience would have been much less fulfilling and eventful!"
"Although my degree was in the physical sciences, the breadth and quality of the honors curriculum improved my overall experience at Boise State. The focus on discussion and critical thinking, even in courses like Theatre 101, helps students develop skills that translate into every field."
"The best thing that the honors program did for me was to give me the experience of a small school within the resources of a large university."
"I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I got everything a private school has to offer: small classes, great teachers, intelligent peers, and a fantastic education."
"The Honors College has afforded many wonderful opportunities that I could have only dreamed of four years ago. I have worked and studied alongside many amazing students in the honors program, expanded my horizons in great honors classes, and formed incredible friendships while living in Driscoll Hall."
"By providing students with classes that challenge their thinking, a plethora of extracurricular activities, generous scholarships, and a network of talented peers, the Honors College enables its students to better access the resources of the dynamic city of Boise and the wider world. I could not have done all that I did at Boise State University without the constant support of The Honors College"
