About Us

We're serious about building the kind of community we'd all want to be a part of. We strive to personally live out the values of the Honors Program and support others to do the same. 

Our program proudly continues a long-standing tradition of providing serious and highly motivated Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵs with a unique set of intellectual and educational opportunities. 

Our Mission

The Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ Honors Program invites undergraduate Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵs from all backgrounds and across all chosen fields of study to commit to academic excellence and intellectual exploration. To support and challenge Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵs in this commitment, we collaborate with faculty and staff across the Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ to augment standard curricula with opportunities for experiential learning, effective expression, substantive discourse, and both personal and interpersonal growth. Honors Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵs and faculty engage in the open, constructive exchange of ideas, and leverage these ideas toward personally meaningful participation in their disciplines and communities.

Our Vision

Looking ahead, the intention of the UL Honors Program is to mature into the Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ’s first Honors College, serving Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵs with a level of autonomy, resource allocation, and cultural distinction comparable to other Honors Colleges in the Southern United States. As we evolve, we aim to increasingly situate Honors as part of what inspires prospective Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵs to become Ragin’ Cajuns.
