The New Honors College

Winthrop's new Honors College develops tomorrow's leaders through an integrated experience of purposeful academics, hands-on leadership training, and meaningful community engagement. Our scholars dive deeper into advanced coursework in intimate classroom settings, collaborate closely with dedicated faculty mentors, and tackle real-world challenges through service-learning projects. The program culminates in an original capstone experience that transforms academic learning into lasting impact. The Honors College builds a tight-knit community of motivated students who challenge each other to think critically, lead authentically, and serve purposefully.
