Honors Program

DU’s University Honors program is a community of students, faculty, and staff who are hungry for knowledge, passionate about a wide range of topics, and who want to learn in community with one another – both within the classroom and beyond.

Our program fosters a distinctive liberal arts education that challenges students to cultivate depth in critical and creative thought, and facilitates students' original contributions to intellectual life, their community, and their chosen field.

Students from any major may be a part of the Honors Program. Information on admission to the Honors Program is available on our website. For more information, contact the University Honors Program at honors@du.edu or 303-871-2035.

Honors Floor, Community, and Enrichment

The Honors floor, located in Dimond Family Residential Village, is a residential opportunity for first-year students in the University Honors Program, though living on the Honors floor is not required.

In addition, the Honors Program provides its community of students and faculty many ways to come together through activities organized throughout the year.

Honors Curriculum and Requirements

Students graduate with University Honors upon satisfaction of the following requirements:

  1. Completion of Honors course requirements (Honors Program requirements are listed under Major and Minor Requirements for University Honors)
  2. Satisfaction of all requirements for distinction in at least one major (Distinction requirements are listed under Major and Minor Requirements for each Major)
  3. Cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher at graduation
 

Lamont School of Music

Students of all majors can pursue opportunities in ensembles, elective lessons, and classes offered by the Lamont School of Music.  More information about these course offerings can be found online at https://liberalarts.du.edu/lamont/academics/opportunities-non-majors.

Performing ensembles are open to all DU students by audition, and rehearsals and concerts are held in the stunning Robert and Judi Newman Center for the Performing Arts.

Lamont offers nearly 300 performances each year, including musicals, operas, and prominent ensemble performances, as well as guest artist performances and recitals.  Most of these are free to DU ID card holders.

Living and Learning Communities

DU’s Living and Learning Communities (LLCs) prepare students to contribute to the public good by connecting their learning across living, academic, and co-curricular experiences with a cohort of peers. When students join an LLC, they become part of a community that includes 22 peers, a Faculty Mentor, and a Program Coordinator. Together, communities:

  • Live on the same hall;

  • Learn in a sequence of 2-credit classes together. These courses open pathways to minors and future academic experiences;

  • Participate in events and activities together, such as retreats, field trips, and movie/speaker nights. In addition, an LLC suite welcomes LLC community member to drop by to study, hang out, and connect. 

In AY 24-25, LLCs are offered for first-year students. Each LLC is organized around a theme. The themes include: Environmental Sustainability, Global Mental Health, Health Promotion, Social Change, and Racial Justice. 

To apply to join an LLC, visit https://academicaffairs.du.edu/livinglearning/how-apply.
