Honors Program
The DU Honors Program cultivates student capacity for original academic inquiry and creative exploration.
Our students emerge as self-directed learners, encouraged to ask new questions and pursue their curiosities – both within the classroom and beyond.
Every year, the program recruits a diverse cohort of creative thinkers who want to go beyond the requirements – whether they were part of an Honors program in high school or not.
The three pillars of the Honors Program are our curriculum, our community, and our contributions to original research, scholarship, and creative activities.
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.
Honors Floor, Community, and Enrichment
The Honors floors, located in Dimond Family Residential Village and Centennial Halls, are a residential opportunity for first-year students in the University Honors Program. Living either on the Honors floor or with a different living community (such as PLP, ESTEM, 1GenU, all gender, etc) is required, though an opt out is available.
In addition, the Honors Program provides its community of students, faculty, and staff many ways to come together through events and activities organized by the Honors Student Association every quarter.
Honors Curriculum and Requirements
Students graduate with University Honors upon satisfaction of the following requirements:
- Completion of Honors course requirements (Honors Program requirements are listed under Major and Minor Requirements for University Honors)
- Satisfaction of all requirements for distinction in at least one major (Distinction requirements are listed under Major and Minor Requirements for each major)
- 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 our page about Opportunities for 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.
Learning Cohorts
Discover how to use your unique interests, skills, and talents to turn your passion into action
DU's Learning Cohorts bring together first-year students and a mentor team who all share a passion, such as care for the environment or the future of health.
With peers and your mentor team, you’ll discover how your unique interests, skills, and talents prepare you to turn your passion into action – at DU and beyond.
Open to all first-year students, Learning Cohorts are perfect for connecting with peers and mentors, digging into the issues that you care about, and building an action plan. The action plan is your unique path to doing original projects during your time at DU -- from research or creative work to direct service or policy work.
In AY 2026-2027, applications will open in Fall for Winter and Spring cohorts. To learn more about Learning Cohort themes and the application process, visit the Learning Cohorts website.
