A Welcome from Our Dean

Since 2004, we have become a thriving young institution at UVM. We are the first residential college at the university, occupying a new facility in the North Complex of University Heights. Honors College students have begun to set and reinforce a tone for an exciting, broad-minded, engaging, and responsible academic life at UVM, and will, I am sure, continue to do so.

Please browse through this website and learn more about our courses and requirements, faculty, special opportunities, admissions policies, and more. Visitors are welcome to check our calendar of upcoming events, which we hope will attract audiences beyond the Honors College membership.

Sincerely,
S. Abu Turab Rizvi
Professor of Economics, Interim Dean

• May 2007: Bevin Cohen graduated, having completed all Honors College requirements one year early
• Spring 2008: HC will graduate our first full class of scholars
