Applying to the Honors College

We're a small college within a large research university. Begin your Mason experience by attending selective seminar classes with a small cohort of students. You'll have access to faculty mentors, Honors academic advising, and extracurricular programming.

Students transferring from another college or university may apply to the Honors College while applying to the university through the online application.
