Welcome to the William Paterson University Honors College website! It is an exciting time to be involved in Honors at William Paterson and we invite you to explore the opportunities and activities that are available to you.

The University Honors College offers students a comprehensive educational experience that brings together academic, social and cultural experiences.
The College provides students with many
opportunities to receive personalized attention from members of the faculty, in small classes that
encourage discussion and debate, in independent tutorials where advanced students work privately with professors in their major area on a thesis or project of their own creation, in the new residence living communities that will be visited regularly by professors and staff members, and in social activities that bring together the Honors community.

The University Honors College is a community that includes all students enrolled in the Honors program in General Education, all students participating in a track, all faculty members teaching in Honors, all
faculty overseeing a thesis, and all members of the University Honors College staff.
