The Honors College at George Mason University opens a world of possibilities to a select cohort of highly motivated, high-achieving students each year. Touting a rigorous curriculum, access to top faculty, research opportunities, and enriching programs, the Honors College gives students the tools they need to address the grand challenges of our day.
Mason officially launched the Honors College in 2009, drawing on the legacy of the Honors Program, the University Scholars, the Program in Alternative General Education, and more. For a more detailed account of our founding see our website: https://honorscollege.gmu.edu/why-honors/our-history.
