Objectives
The University Honors Program at Loyola Marymount University seeks to offer academically outstanding students with intellectually creative and rigorous courses designed to create a life-long love of learning and the intellectual habits required to serve others. The sequence of courses culminates in a Senior Thesis project (either HNRS 497 or a Senior Thesis/Project course in their major) prepared under the guidance of professorial mentors. Honors students are strongly encouraged to present their work at the LMU Undergraduate Research Symposium as well as national conferences in their discipline. Selected students will have the opportunity to attend and present work at the National Collegiate Honors Council and the Western Regional Honors Council conferences.
For more on the program, including how to apply, please consult the description of the University Honors Program in the Academic Programs and Services section of the Bulletin, or look at the program's website at http://www.lmu.edu/honors.
