"Welcome to the TAMIU University Honors Program! Our Program has provided intensive, advanced critical thinking and undergraduate research opportunities to TAMIU’s most academically talented students since its inception in 2000. Today, we offer the chance to complete accelerated coursework to Honors students in every undergraduate major at the University, as well as the opportunity to apply for one of three different Honors-linked scholarship programs. Our graduates are among the most successful that TAMIU has produced, going on for advanced study and careers in a variety of fields. Most importantly, I am proud to say that our Honors students are good people and productive citizens of our international world. Please contact us if you are interested in being a part of this dynamic, hardworking group."

Mission Statement

Both the Honors Certificate and the Honors Diploma offer high-quality instruction and the chance to develop intellectual leadership.
