why honors?
honors programs
At UNC Charlotte we have 30 different honors programs, so you’re bound to find something that fits your interests. Three of our programs are geared towards incoming freshmen and beyond: University Honors Program (UHP), Business Honors Program (BHP), and Arts+Architecture Honors Program (AAHP), while the 27 disciplinary honors programs are designed for juniors and seniors.
honors advising & scholarships
Students in honors programs have more than one advisor. Your primary advisor(s) will be in your academic major(s). While you may rely on your academic advisor for guidance within your specific major, you also will need honors advising to ensure that you are on track, considering all possibilities for your senior honors requirements, and are knowledgeable about all scholarship opportunities.
