The Hutton Honors College (HHC) combines interdisciplinary learning with opportunities to grow intellectually outside of the classroom, encouraging honors students to study abroad, pursue research and creative endeavors, and participate in dozens of enrichment activities each semester. Hutton Honors advisors, in turn, assist you in exploring the many options available to you through the HHC, as well as help you navigate campus-wide institutions, policies, and requirements. We supplement, but do not replace, your major advisor. Each HHC student is an individual; knowing this, we advise accordingly.
