"Not only is everyone highly motivated, but each student also has a totally different opinion about the topic that we may be discussing that day. I know that my professors expect great work from me; these high expectations and my fellow students are reasons that I work harder every day."
"I am able to get so much more out of the honors classes than I would be able to get in a normal classroom environment. Also, the variety of classes offered in the Honors Program is great. There is a wide variety of different and unique types of classes available."
"With Catawba's Honors Program, it's not about taking harder classes for the sake of taking harder classes. It's about interesting subjects and rare opportunities. All it takes is one class to realize that you do what you are driven to do in the honors program."
"I loved being involved in the Honors College because of the unique classes and the opportunities it offers. I looked forward to my honors classes because I knew the teachers enjoy teaching them and the students are genuinely excited to learn and explore."
"The classes are unique and fascinating, the professors really care about their subjects and students, and your peers are just as excited and ready to talk as you are. Each class session is an unexpected experience — the discussion setting allows for a wide variety of opinions..."
"It's full of students from many different majors and with a plethora of different interests. This is what makes classes in the Honors program so much fun and so different from any other class offered..."
"Conversations in an honors class are always fast paced, intellectually interesting and will connect to a variety of topics. Honors classes always provide a variety of perspectives and a challenge!"
"I found the Catawba College Honors program to be an academically stimulating experience. The interdisciplinary style of these classes gave me the opportunity to fulfill both graduation requirements and my desire to take interesting courses in which students have the opportunity to add to the discussion."
"I love the honors program because of its strong support of multi-disciplinary education. The opportunity to take GREAT classes outside of my major is one I can never take for granted. Honors students are well-rounded intelligent individuals."
"The courses offered are so different and exciting. For example, my math course (Mathematics Across Cultures) has opened up my eyes to different cultures and how they live and perceive their daily lives. The classes are exhilarating and mind-boggling at times, but that's the best part."
"The Honors Program has provided the opportunity to look at topics that appeal to me from a perspective I may not have thought of prior to the class. Combining this aspect along with being in a class full of people who are just as interested in a topic as you are sets up the class to truly learn something..."
