The Penn State University College Honors Program is a college-based program that provides qualified students with enriched academic experiences through both honors courses and extra-curricular activities. Honors courses are not "extra" courses; they fulfill degree requirements just as any other general education class. Out-of-classroom activities might include visiting major U.S. museums, traveling abroad, participating in regional debate contests, developing community service projects, coordinating campus lecture series, and/or attending cultural events. Students receive special recognition as honors students at the Penn State Mont Alto Honors Convocation and the Penn State Mont Alto Awards Ceremony.
