Welcome. Throughout the past two decades, the honors program at SUNY Fredonia has attracted some of the best students from New York State and throughout the country. Today, there are 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.
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.
As the new director, I am excited about the program and the opportunity to work with such gifted students. I want to welcome you to the honors program and I encourage you to apply. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the honors program.
Dr. David Kinkela, Director
