荣誉项目

长岛校区澳门足彩app, New York offers eligible entering first year students** the opportunity to participate in a three-semester honors program as part of their bachelor’s degree.

The program provides an enriched and rigorous academic experience, meeting the special needs of those students who have demonstrated extraordinary academic accomplishment and ability and who are committed to achieving their full potential.

澳门足彩app recognizes that some students have additional needs due to their superior achievements and intense desire for knowledge. The honors program offers these gifted academic students a 社区 within our larger 社区. While these students do share some common classes within the honors program, they also take courses outside the program based on their personal choices each semester. This offers them the perfect balance of academic challenge, 社区, and flexibility to explore new areas and meet new people.
