Yes, Ithaca College has a very successful honors program. The program is selective, and application is by invitation only. About 400 students from throughout the College participate. A small number of students who have excelled in their first semester at IC may be nominated by their faculty and apply to join the honors program in their sophomore year.

To graduate with Ithaca College Honors, you must complete 19 credits of honors coursework, typically 6 seminars. These interdisciplinary seminars are open only to honors students and satisfy general education and liberal arts requirements.

Honors students enjoy many benefits, including trips, film and speaker series, and social gatherings. Incoming first-year honors students may also apply to live in honors housing.

You may also be interested in departmental honors work in your major. Unlike the all-college honors program, departmental honors work typically requires you to write and defend an honors thesis, complete a research project, or pass an honors exam. Contact your department chair for more information.
