The Honors College at UNC Charlotte provides students robust experiences crossing academic, cultural, community, and personal contexts, including undergraduate research, engagement with cultural variety, and the creation of community within the University and across the Charlotte metropolitan area. We support students as they become agents of their own vision, developing intellectually, culturally, and civically.
Our vision is to have the Honors College be a top choice destination for high-achieving undergraduates interested in holistic development within the rich environment of North Carolina's urban research university.
See what our students have to say about their experience:
“The Honors College has allowed me to deepen my education through different immersive experiences that allow me to explore learning beyond the classroom. I've also connected with highly motivated students and amazing faculty who are very supportive of everyone’s individual goals.” - Donna Thompson, ‘23
“The Honors College provides me the opportunity to fully immerse myself in the college experience by embracing challenges through academic, professional, and creative activities.” - Bryan Lopez Villanueva, ‘24
"This is why I enjoy Honors. Instead of following a rubric and a grade, we learn to adapt to real-world situations. That is the most important lesson we can learn in college." - Gabrielle Bryant, '24
