Honors in Health and Rehabilitation Sciences

HRS Honors

The Honors program in Health and Rehabilitation Sciences is developed to create a breadth of experiences that are aligned with the University Honors Program's GOALS of Global Awareness, Original inquiry, Academic enrichment, Leadership development and Service engagement. Therefore, to graduate with Honors, students will complete activities across three domains to facilitate development in each of these core areas. These activities should reflect experiences that go above and beyond degree program requirements to ensure a supplemental experience worthy of such distinction.  For the full list of qualifying activities, please consult the appropriate guide below.
