Honors College

Duquesne University Honors College is a supercharged community of undergraduate students from EVERY school in the university.  Together we explore ideas in small seminars (18 students) and tiny tutorials (7 students!).

Our faculty prepare students to become leaders in industry, nonprofit organizations, and research.   From the Honors College they springboard to top employers or to the very best graduate, medical, and law programs in the world – Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Georgetown, Stanford, MIT, and many more.

They can move into these bright futures with confidence and compassion because of the strong community and sense of curiosity our co-curricular programs provide.  Here are just a few of the Honors College traditions that have grown over the last 40 years:

  • Extra Perk: breakfast parties in the lobby with changemakers on our campus
  • Cultural Dinners: catered delicacies and intercultural learning, hosted by students and faculty
  • Puzzle and Game Nights: at the request of our students, screen-free fun in all forms
  • Harry Potter Week: contests, escape rooms, scavenger hunts, and the legendary carnival with loaded prize tables
  • The City is our Classroom: faculty-led excursions and research missions throughout Pittsburgh
  • August Wilson House: literature, history, and social justice with our community partner

Consider a donation of $40 to celebrate 40 years of the Honors College – and cheers to 40 and many more!  With your help we can continue to ignite students’ passion for learning and success in new ways.

In addition to all our ongoing efforts, your gift will also impact:

  • The Office of Student Fellowships under the leadership of our new Associate Director, Kevin Henderson
  • Internships abroad and experiential group travel abroad and closer to home
  • Stipends for student conference travel where honors students share their research
  • Collaborations with faculty – everything from a faculty-student honors society to ongoing trivia luncheons with faculty and staff
  • The new Honors Undergraduate Thesis track and an undergraduate journal, Humanities and the Professions
  • Enhanced new facilities for Honors College housing and activities
  • And so much more.

Thank you for your support of Duquesne University Honors College!
