Pittsburg State University has announced selections to the Honors College, which has a mission of providing a more meaningful and rigorous educational experience for high-achieving students.
It was not an easy decision, said Honors College Director Craig Fuchs.
Through a two-tier selection process, which includes both a paper application review and an on-campus interview, the selection committee narrows the pool down to the top 30 student scholars, each of whom are offered positions in the program. Those students are expected to continue to excel academically once enrolled at PSU, but also become involved in student clubs and organizations, as well as assume leadership roles across campus in a variety of ways.
Honors College students receive scholarships and enroll in intellectually stimulating general education courses as freshmen and sophomores. As juniors and seniors, they become integrated into the Academic Honors program. Students of all levels are encouraged to participate in research, research presentation, and study abroad experiences.
