Current CofC Students

The College of Charleston Honors College provides highly motivated students with the opportunities and challenges they are seeking to make the most of their college experience. Honors students benefit from small, discussion-based courses in a wide range of disciplines; early and frequent access to research, internship, and study away opportunities; personalized mentoring with an Honors faculty member; priority course registration; and a vibrant living-learning community.  

In most cases, it will take students at least six semesters to complete the Honors Curriculum, so we typically only review students who have completed no more than two semesters at the College of Charleston. If you have any questions about whether or how to apply to the Honors College as a current CofC student, please email honors@cofc.edu.
