Honors students enjoy special privileges on campus, such as early registration,
dedicated computer labs, and extended library privileges. Honors classes
are much smaller, and there is a strengthened focus on development of writing,
speaking, and analytical skills in these classes. (Honors courses in Chemistry
are described below.)
Honors students are strongly encouraged to engage in research. See
http://quiz2.chem.arizona.edu/ugres/Research_Opportunities.htm for research
opportunities in chemistry and for finding a research Faculty mentor. Undergraduates
may work on research projects under Faculty direction for
credit or wages, or by participating in one of many funded research programs.
The Honors College offers the
Undergraduate Research Grant program which provides
summer stipends to those participating.
