College and Departmental Honors Programs

In addition to University Honors, the University of Tennessee offers opportunities in specific college or departmental honors programs. They are designed to build disciplinary depth after or complementary to the interdisciplinary breadth of University Honors.

University Honors students are encouraged to seek these additional honors opportunities. Typically, admission to these highly selective programs occurs during sophomore or junior years and have their own competitive honors admissions process. In most cases, students need not be a member of the Haslam Leadership Scholars or Chancellor’s Honors Program to be eligible for admission to a college’s or a department’s honors program. Below are the common options on campus, but consult leaders of these programs, your honors coach, and/or the most current academic catalog for more information.
