The Independent Honors track challenges students to discover and develop their intellectual strengths and purpose by completing a personalized honors curriculum developed in consultation with an honors adviser.
In addition, these students* will receive a $4,000 per scholarship for participating in the program.
* Students receiving a Legacy and Legends or athletic scholarship can still participate in the program but are not eligible for the $4,000 scholarship.
Guidance
Independent Honors Students work closely with the program director to fulfill program requirements in a way that supports their academic and intellectual development.
Design
As juniors, Independent Honors Students design and complete a non-traditional honors experience for credit. Jaqui Johns (Class of 2017) worked with Kentucky Refugees Ministries to fulfill this requirement and prepare to write her honors thesis.
Flexibility
Interested Independent Honors Students may switch to the Oxford or Science Honors Track with the consent of the director.
