University Honors Program

University Honors Program (UHP) is a university-wide undergraduate program intended to reward SIU’s best students for their high academic achievements. A hallmark of the program is the emphasis on community, diversity, leadership, service, lifelong learning, global awareness and research and a commitment to providing both experience and opportunity to foster these values. The heart of UHP is its small classes, unique in character and specially created for UHP students by outstanding UHP faculty to satisfy requirements of the University Core Curriculum and as well as in the student’s major.
