Freshmen take part in OSU Honors College

Tuesday, October 5, 2010

A total of 440 new freshmen at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater are taking part in the Oklahoma State University Honors College this fall.

“We are delighted that these outstanding new students have chosen to become active participants in OSU’s nationally-recognized Honors College,” said Dr. Robert Spurrier, Honors College director. “They are seeking out academic challenges in one of the most developed Honors Colleges in the nation, and our faculty and professional staff will do our best to provide a supportive learning environment as these students work toward their Honors College Degrees.”

The OSU program was started in the 1960s for students in the College of Arts and Sciences, and was expanded in 1989 to include all undergraduate colleges at OSU. The honors program, considered a leader nationally, meets or exceeds all standards established by the National Collegiate Honors Council, an organization of more than 800 colleges and universities across the U.S.
