Message from the Director
I want to welcome you to the honors program! We currently have over 400 honors students on campus, majoring in nearly every degree program the university offers. And with each new freshman class, the honors program only grows stronger, making it one of the most exciting and academically rewarding programs at SUNY Fredonia. I am also happy to announce that for students accepted into the program in the Fall 2013, we will be offering awards up to $1,500. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the honors program or the application process.
Dr. David Kinkela
Department of History
The honors program challenges and supports student learning through a series of specially designed seminars. Each seminar offers a unique educational experience, enabling students to work with some of the finest faculty members on campus in a small class setting. Honors students take four seminars, ideally within their freshman and sophomore years, which fulfill part of the university’s general education requirements. We offer courses in the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences and Natural Sciences. Students are also encouraged to participate in the honors colloquium and to take part in the many organized learning experiences outside of the classroom.

The program is compatible with any college major. Each honors seminar fulfills a general education requirement and substitutes for an ordinary general education course. Students graduate with Honors in Liberal Education.
